Researchers have identified 36 species
living in the vicinity of Manu
Lodge. Bats play an important role in the ecology
of the rainforest, for example they are specialized pollinators
to specific tree species. Bats range from tiny 4-gram
insectivores, or heavier 80 gram, fruit-eaters (Artibeus
lituratus) to the large 190-gram carnivorous species like
(Chrotopterus auritus) and (Vampyrum spectrum).
