smithsonianlibraries:We’ve brought out some of our cutest chiroptera for Bat Appreciation Day. And what’s not to appreciate?

These particular bats are Salvin’s Big-eyed bats (Chiroderma salvini), as illustrated in the Mammalia volume of Biologia Centrali-Americana (1879-1882) available in the Biodiversity Heritage Library. -- source link
