Peter's disk-winged bat
Peter's disk-winged bat (''Thyroptera discifera'') is a bat species mainly found in South and Central America. They belong to the family Thyropteridae which are a small group of disk-winged bats. These bats have a distinguishing feature of circular, suction disks at the base of their thumbs and hind feet. They use these suction disks to cling onto young unfurling banana or liconia leaves to roost while avoiding the rain and predators. They are very similar in appearance and easily confused with Thyroptera tricolor which has a paler venter than dorsum, and two cartilaginous projections on the calcar.
==Description==
Bats in the family Thyropteridae do not have a noseleaf but instead have warts above their nostrils. They are smaller bats with long and slender snouts. T. discifera is the smallest of the family and possess thick lips, small eyes, and fairly large ears that extend from the eyes to the edge of the mouth. The tragus is present and the ears are covered in hair on the front side. Their entire body is also covered in fine, long hairs usually reddish brown in color. Suction disks are contained on the feet along with those at the base of their thumbs. The head and body length range from 37 to 47 mm with a tail length of 24 to 33 mm.
