North American white-lined bat (SciiFii)

The North American white-lined bat (Platyrrhinus temperatus), also known as the northern leaf-eating bat, is a species of bat, most closely related to the white-lined broad-nosed bat (Platyrrhinus lineatus), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. As a phyllostomid bat, the North American white-lined bat is a small bat, weighing approximately 30 grams (1.1 oz), and is characterized by a narrow uropatagium which is fringed with hair; a white dorsal stripe; large inner upper incisors convergent at the tips; and three upper and three lower molars. North American white-lined bats are nocturnal and are frugivorous, feeding primarily on fruits, flowers, leaves, and pine needles of the many tree species, but are also known to be important pollinators of different flowering plants. The mating system of the North American white-lined bat is polygynandrous, or promiscuous, and females give birth to one offspring annually. The offspring, called pups, are quickly weaned and reach adult size in some dimensions by three weeks old. The North American white-lined bat has a mean lifespan of between 6 and 9 years, though some individuals in the wild can reach more than 9 years old. The conservation status of the North American white-lined bat is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the North American white-lined bat's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
