Honduran fruit-eating bat Neotropical bats, which typically range from 10-85 g. It displays the characteristic lack of tail and narrow patagium seen in fruit bats, and also has a very densely furred uropatagium, which distinguishes A. hirsutus and A. inopinatus from many other species in the genus. Like most bats, they are nocturnal, roosting during the day, and use echolocation for navigation at night. The bats are in the family Phyllostomidae, also referred to as the New World leaf-nosed bats. This group tends to have distinct pointed, or "leaf shaped" snouts which assist them in echolocation. The Honduran Fruit Eating bat has a
Animal echolocation as 212 kHz. Insectivorous aerial-hawking bats have a call frequency between 20 kHz and 60 kHz because it is the frequency that gives the best range and image acuity and makes them less conspicuous to insects. However, low frequencies are adaptive for some species with different prey and environments. "Euderma maculatum", a species that feeds on moths, uses a particularly low frequency of 12.7 kHz that cannot be heard by moths. Echolocation calls can be composed of two different types of frequency structure: frequency modulated (FM) sweeps, and constant frequency (CF) tones. A particular call can consist of one, the
