Manage episode 275021663 series 2804178
They snuggle together to form a bundle of fluffy cottonballs....they are the bat species Ectophylla alba, and they are out to get you....with fuzzy cuteness!!! Just kidding :) These little guys are shy and hide under leaves. They suffer from daddy issues and wouldn't hurt a fly...well...maybe the ones who live inside figs.
