Caption:
This image depicts a right lateral view of a Jamaican fruit bat’s, Artibeus jamaicensis, head region. This fruit bat measures an average 9.0cm in length, and exhibits a gray-brown coat that emits a scent described as being very similar to soap-like. Members of this genus display pointier ears than its relatives in closely related genera. It possesses no external tail, and hence, a very minimal, U-shaped interfemoral membrane between its hind legs, also known as the uropatagium.
