North American tent-making bat (SciiFii)

A North American tent-making bat (Uroderma unistriatus), also known as the northern tent-making bat, is a species of American leaf-nosed bat (Phyllostomidae) that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. This medium-sized bat has a gray coat with a pale white stripe running down the middle of the back, and its face is characterized by a fleshy noseleaf and four white stripes, similarly to the South American tent-making bat (Uroderma bilobatum), but has a thicker coat of fur to keep itself warm the the freezing temperatures, even in places as cold as Alaska. Primarily a frugivore, it may supplement its diet with insects, flower parts, pollen, and nectar. Its common name comes from its curious behavior of constructing tents out of large leaves, much like the South American tent-making bat, but can also make these "tents" out of not just fan-shaped leaves, it can also make "tents" out of a wider range of other leaves large enough to shelter this species, unlike South American tent-making bats. These roosts provide excellent protection from the rains, and a single tent roost may house several bats at once. The conservation status of the North American tent-making bat is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the North American tent-making hat's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
