Honduran White Bats Are the Cutest

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?

All bats are adorable if you ask me, but these tiny flying floofballs are on their own scale of cuteness.

I still have a toy from when I was little that was a big leaf with about 5 bats under them! Each bat was its own stuffed toy with Velcro on their butts to attach to the toy leaf.

"The Honduran White Bat is bite-sized... but don't bite them"

Yeah... I mean, I think we all learned that lesson back in 2019.

Those leaf tent homes look super cozy :)

So cute! They're the entire reason I would have to get rabies shots before going to Central America, because I would 100% be looking for them, and I WILL pet them if I find them.
