Yes Lauren, I saw them in the same temple, there were two different species there. Amazing you saw them too.
What do you think Luis! We had two bat species in that Temple. Here is the other one http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/237....
Wow Luis, AfriBats just threw me for a loop, that my spotting has both Phyllostomatids (Leaf Nose) and Emballonurids (Sac-wings). Both were in the same temple in Yaxchilan! Did you find these in the Temple that faces the Grand Plaza? The one with several doorways and all the dark labyrinth tunnels?
Qué hermosos murciélagos!!!
Felicitaciones Luis, muy buenas fotos.
Wonderful shots Luis! I got one only and a video of a male defending his female.
