You Won't Believe These Astounding Nature Photos Are Real

Honduran White Bat

The Honduran white bat, also known as the Caribbean white tent-making bat, only eats one type of fig. These incredible creatures then use the fig's leaves to build "tents," which they cut and fold down to provide shelter. Although they are certainly fascinating animals, don't go out searching for them unless you live in the Central American countries of Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, or Paraguay.
