Lesser long-tongued bat
The lesser long-tongued bat (''Choeroniscus minor''), also called the lesser long-tailed bat,〔 is a bat species from South America.
==Description==
Relatively small among bats, members of this species have a total length of , a forearm around long, and weigh from ; females are slightly larger than males. The tail is long, with the first half being embedded within the uropatagium, which is also partially supported by well developed calcars. The body is covered with thick hair that is dark brown to almost black in colour.
As the common name for the species suggests, the muzzle is slender and elongated, although not unusually so among glossophagine bats, and is tipped with a triangular nose-leaf. The ears are rounded, with curved folds along either edge, and a large tragus. The tongue is remarkably long, and can be extended even when the bat's jaws are closed, because of a wide gap between the front teeth, reaching up to 50% of the animal's entire body length.〔 The tip of the tongue bears a small patch of bristles, which presumably helps the bat lap up nectar.〔 The teeth are somewhat variable in form, but only the canines are prominent, with all the remaining teeth being small and delicate.
