Mormoops megalophylla
The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The ghost-faced bat has one of the strangest faces of any mammal: fleshy folds around the mouth, a sort of funnel below the lower lip and ears joined above the forehead. It lives in colonies that can number tens of thousands of animals in warm, humid caves, from southern Texas to Peru and Venezuela. It hunts moths and other insects in agile flight close to the vegetation.
