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
Long-legged bat family Phyllostomidae that use low-intensity “whispering” echos, the Long-Legged Bat has been shown to produce high-intense echolocation calls to detect its prey. M. macrophyllum will adjust the intensity of its calls depending on the environment that it’s in. When in areas with high acoustic clutter, the bats will decrease their signal intensity, while in more open areas, the bats will increase their signal intensity. By increasing call intensity in a more open environment, this allows these bats to have a broader detection range for food. Average intensity output has been shown increase by 11 dB, corresponding to a 4x amplitude
