Cotton balls or Bats?!

Many of us think of this *points up* when somebody mentions bats.... But have you ever thought of bats looking like this*points down*

There are twelve bats here - try and count them.  

These cute and tiny bats, which are just a little bigger than walnuts, crowd together under a heliconia leaf in the Caribbean lowland forest of  Costa Rica.  They build their tents by chewing the edges of the leaf midrib which forms a watertight, and apparently cozy, structure.  

Aren't they cute?! They wanna make you think twice about saying that you don't like bats :)
