Platalina
The long-snouted bat (Platalina genovensium) is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is monotypic within the genus Platalina. It is endemic to Peru. It feeds almost exclusively on the nectar and fruit of the columnar cactus . There are only seven known populations and despite little research having been done on this species, they are listed as near-threatened due to habitat loss causing the removal of their primary food source.
