National Museum of Natural History: American Mammals: Mexican Long Nosed Bat

Curated by ACT

The Mexican long-nosed bat feeds mainly on the nectar and pollen of agaves, and is found in Texas in June and July when the plants are in bloom there. Then it migrates southward into Mexico, where it lives in pine-oak forests and deserts. Learn more about the Leptonycteris nivalis, more commonly known as a Mexican Long-nosed Bat, in this easy-to-read species overview by the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
