Averaging 35 grams (1.2 oz), the Black Mastiff Bat (Molossus rufus) is one of those small insect-gobbling bat species we see flying rapidly across the sky at dusk and dawn in Trinidad. Consuming a daily minimum of 25% of its body weight in beetles, moths and rainflies (winged termites and ants), this bat is a natural insect-pest control agent. (Trinibats)

A female Seba's Short-tailed Fruit Bat (Carollia perspicillata) suckling her rather hefty pup. Bats typically give birth to just a single pup per breeding cycle which only occurs once, or at most, twice per year. This disparity in reproductive rates and litter-size can render bats highly vulnerable to population collapse, especially when entire colonies are threatened through habitat loss or the ill-advised destruction of primary roosts.
