National Museum of Natural History: American Mammals: Hairy Legged Vampire Bat

Curated by ACT

Its teeth are so razor-sharp that the bird or mammal it feeds on usually does not even feel the tiny bite it inflicts. Learn more about the Diphylla ecaudata, more commonly known as a Hairy-legged Vampire Bat, in this easy-to-read species overview by the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
