They’re one of only two white bat species (other bats are brown or black), but Honduran white bats definitely take the crown for cuteness.
These frugivore bats only eat figs. The figs lead to a buildup of carotenoid pigment, which gives Honduran white bats’ ears and noses their distinctive orange-yellow color. These bats are the only mammal that can store such high levels of carotenoid pigment, making Honduran white bats a wonder to scientists.
And are these little cuties endangered? And how could Honduran white bats help treat macular degeneration?
