Artibeus jamaicensis is also known as Jamaican Fruit eating bat. The Jamaican fruit-eating bat eats figs and many other tropical forest fruits, including the pulpy layer surrounding nuts. After carrying fruits away to eat them, the bat then drops the nuts, dispersing seeds for future trees. Not only do they eat fruit, this species also eats pollen, nectar, and a few insects. They range from central Mexico to Paraguay and Brazil, and also live in the Bahamas, the Antilles, Trinidad, Tobago, and Key West, Florida.
They can be found in a variety of habitats, from dry deciduous forest to tropical evergreen forest and even cloud forest. Caves and hollow trees are their most common roosts, but sometimes they also create roosts by biting the midribs of large leaves until they hang down to form tents.

First of 17 in the bat loop with Nana5MHK, the SeaAggies, and Baloo the dog! Looks like we've got 5-6 miles of hiking and echolocating to finish off this Chiropteran cache run. Spotted some paw paw flowers on the trail that those fruit-eating bats might appreciate.
