The tiny White Bats of Honduras are among the cutest rodents on Earth. Also known as Ectophylla Alba, the Honduran White Bats are only 37-47mm long and can be found in Central America and The Caribbean. They cut the side veins of the Heliconia plant leaves causing them to fold into a protective tent. The small bats live in colonies of up to six individuals, one mail and a harem of females.
The natural tent protects the White Bats from rain and predators and they only take flight when their home is no longer safe.

Amazing pictures, I have never seen these bats before, sort of cute and sort of ugly at the same time!
Next film or Batman: "White Sensation"
Nice pictures; however, it is incorrect to refer to bats as "rodents" because they aren't. Bats are of the order Chiroptera, while rodents (rats, mice, etc.) are of the order Rodentia. There is some evidence that bats may be more closely related to primates than to rodents.
Thats a good picture!..... And they are sort of ugly!!!!!!!
