Mexican Long-nosed Bat - Adopt-a-Bat

Mexican long-nosed bats (Leptonycteris nivalis) are hard at work every night pollinating agave plants. They flit around from plant to plant, getting covered in pollen as they slurp the nectar from the agave's flowers. This one even brought along an agave flower as a snack!
