☁️Nothing to see here, just a cluster of Honduran white bats (Ectophylla alba)!
🦇This critter hides from foes by roosting beneath self-made tree tents that it builds by cutting a leaf along the midrib so that the sides fold down to create cover. When sunlight hits the foliage, it casts a green tinge on the bat’s white fur, allowing it to better blend in with its surroundings. Leaves with a waxy surface are preferred because they provide an added layer of waterproof protection.

The last and only unlocked door is a jail cell left open, showing a dark and empty cell. The caption is “Destroy the prison industrial complex.” End ID]
