Noctilio leporinus
Osa Peninsula and Corcovado are the two atlas places where the Greater Bulldog Bat is recorded. Its records concentrate in Mexico, Guyana, Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico and Panama, with 183 open records across 14 countries. This mammal, known scientifically as Noctilio leporinus, has a map that reflects the full range of these observations.
The months when these bats are recorded differ by region. Each place page in the atlas shows the recorded months for that area.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Greater Bulldog Bat as much as where it lives. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
