Spectral Bat

With a wingspan of almost 1 metre (3.3 ft), the spectral bat is the largest bat in the Americas and the largest carnivorous bat in the world. It's believed to find avian prey by smell and is attracted to distress calls from small bats caught in mist nets. It's also known as the "False Vampire", because it was previously thought to feed on blood.
