The white-winged vampire bat is a small bat that feeds on blood. It lives from Mexico to northern Argentina, and also on the islands of Trinidad and Margarita Island. Its pale wing edges make it easy to tell apart from some of its relatives.1

자주 헷갈리는 동물: It is often confused with the common vampire bat. The white-winged vampire bat has a smooth outer edge on its tragus (the small flap in front of the ear), while the common vampire bat's is serrated. Its thumb is also much shorter, and it has 22 teeth, compared with 20 in the common vampire bat.1

독의 힘

물어

물 때 독니나 이빨로 독이 나와.

이 독(물거나 쏘는 독)은 어떤 작용을 할까?

Its saliva contains plasminogen activators, which quickly dissolve the clots that form in the host's blood while it feeds. It also contains platelet aggregation inhibitors and other anticoagulants, which stop blood from clotting. These compounds work especially well on birds.1

사람에게 얼마나 위험할까?

사람에게 위험한 정도: 약함벌에 쏘인 정도거나 그보다 덜해. 사람에게는 거의 무해해.

It can transmit rabies, but this appears to be relatively uncommon. The only reports of rabies transmission from this species come from Trinidad.1

무서울 때 어떻게 할까?

When disturbed, it produces a foul-smelling odour from cup-shaped scent glands in its mouth, which may help deter predators.1

사실

In captivity, each bat drinks about 16 ml of defibrinated cow or chicken blood per day, and they should be kept in social colonies with dominance hierarchies.1

It is the only bat species in the world with 22 teeth, although older individuals sometimes lose the last upper molars.1

Its brain is large for its body size, which may be because its hunting needs careful planning and stealth.1

It is not as good as the common vampire bat at walking on all fours, but it is quite good at climbing branches.1

It roosts with many other bat species, including the common vampire bat.1
