Bulldog Bats
Noctilionidae
The bat family Noctilionidae, commonly known as bulldog bats or fishing bats, is represented by two species, the greater and the lesser bulldog bats. They are found near water, from Mexico to Argentina and also in the Caribbean islands. The naked bulldog bat (Cheiromeles torquatus) does not belong to this family, but to the family Molossidae, the free-tailed bats.
