Description
The ghost bat has an average body length of 100-140 millimeters and mass of 130-170 grams, making it one of the largest microchiropterans. With ears that consist of nearly half the length of the face, large eyes, and strong curved claws, the microbat is considered a carnivorous species; the lower jaw juts out slightly farther than the upper and houses 26 large, robust teeth. The wing span is approximately 0.6 meters. The overall size of the females is smaller than that of males, although certain body parts, including fingers and tibia, are larger in the female (Hudson, et al).
