Honduran White Bats – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Honduran White Bats:
The Honduran White Bat is native to the dense rainforests of Central America. They will roost under the leaves of banana trees as well as hollow trees or abandoned buildings. It is only one of two species of white bat – the other being the Northern Ghost Bat. These bats are very small, being only 1.5-2.5 inches long (3.7-4.7 cm) and weighing .2 ounces (6 grams) The Honduran White Bat is unique among most bats (but not many tropical bats) in that it will modify its immediate surroundings for its own benefit. Unlike the misconception that all bats live in caves, this bat will use the leaf of the large heliconia plant to form a tent. It does so by cutting the side veins of the plant that extend out from the midrib; this causes the leaf to droop along the stem, making a tent. The little white bats then cling to the inner plant upside-down in small colonies of around six, although larger groupings have been reported.

Artist’s notes:
The Honduran White Bats was completed on 1.13.2015. I saw a small article about these wonderful little bat on Jeff Corwin’s Facebook page. I did a little research on them, and decided to create a drawing of them. At first I wanted to draw one in flight, but then I realized that a small cluster of them in their native environment would be more visually appealing. The drawing is based on a photo by Jan Boer and was used with permission.

Margay – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Margay:
The Margay is a smaller member of the feline family. It is native to southern North America, down through much of Central America and most of South America. Like many other species of cat, the Margay is a solitary hunter. It prefers remote sections of very dense tropical and subtropical rainforests and cloudforests. It looks similar to the Ocelot, but the head is a little smaller with longer legs and tail. The cat weighs from 5.7 to 8.8 pounds (2.6 to 4 kilograms), with a body length of 19 to 31 inches (48 to 79 centimeters), and a tail length of 13 to 20 in (33 to 51 centimeters.) Because of unregulated hunting and habitat loss this cat is considered endangered by some environmental groups.
