'Batwoman' bags new bat in Nicaragua

In yesterday's Arizona Daily Sun:
NAU School of Forestry wildlife ecology professor Carol Chambers, and Nicaraguan bat expert Arnulfo Ramon Medina Fitoria netted, measured, weighed and documented the only Phylloderma stenops bat ever captured and recorded in the Central American country. This particular bat weighs about as much as 20 Hershey's kisses and usually is captured in mist nets above streams in evergreen forests.
