Blue & Yellow Macaws in the Peruvian rainforest near the Tambopata Research Center. It blows my mind how many parrots we saw, and the variety of species. #mateforlife #macaws #rainforest #peru #tambopata #nature #parrots #birds #welovetoexplore
See those tiny little 'bumps' on this submerged log? It's a colony of adorable little Proboscis bats (Rhynchonycteris naso) that we found while canoeing on a remote oxbow lake in the rainforest of Peru! They sway like leaves in the wind to confuse predators, and were amazing little creatures to interact with! Proboscis bats live in groups. The colonies are usually between five and ten individuals, and very rarely exceed forty. The bats are nocturnal, sleeping during the day in an unusual formation: they lay one after another on a branch or wooden beam, nose to tail, in a straight row. A colony of proboscis bats usually has a regular feeding area, typically a small patch of water. Here the bats catch insects using echolocation. They have no specific breeding season, forming stable year-round harems. One young is born. Both sexes disperse after weaning at around 2–4 months. This is a small bat, around 6 centimetres (2.4 inches) long and 4 grams (0.0088 pounds) in weight. The species is characterized by its long, fleshy, and pointed nose. Its fur is soft and dense and is brownish-grey in color, with two white stripes down the back. Whether these stripes serve a purpose, such as camouflage or attraction of mates, is unknown. This bat also has gray tufts of fur on the forearms. No matter what time of day these features may make the bat difficult to see. #bata #tambopata #peru #rainforest #welovetoexplore
