Safety note: May carry rabies — do not approach or handle.

The Bicolored Roundleaf Bat is a small, cave-roosting Old World leaf-nosed bat that has been recorded in North America only as a vagrant or introduced individual. It is included here to represent the diversity of bat families that have peripheral occurrence in the region. Native to Southeast Asia, any North American occurrence would represent an extreme range extension or human-assisted transport.
