DescriptionThe gray short-tailed bat is a relatively small member of its family, measuring {{convert|6.4|to|7.3|cm}} in length, and weighing {{convert|12|to|19|g}}. The species is sexually dimorphic, with females being significantly larger than males. It has grey to grey-brown fur over its upper body, with pale grey underparts and grey-brown wing and tail membranes. It has triangular ears, a short muzzle, and a pointed triangular nose leaf. As the common name implies, the tail is short, and it does not extend to the edge of the uropatagium.[2] Distribution and habitatThe bat inhabits dry tropical forests up to {{convert|1200|m|abbr=on}} in elevation, from southern Tabasco in Mexico, along the Pacific coast of Central America, through Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua, to northern Costa Rica.[1] Less certain are reports from as far north as Jalisco, and as far south as Panama. It has no recognised subspecies, and the bat was until recently thought to be a subspecies of the chestnut short-tailed bat.[2] Biology and behaviourThe gray short-tailed bat is omnivorous, feeding on insects, fruit, and nectar. Its preferred fruits include breadnut, Cecropia peltata, figs, Jamaican cherry, and pepper.[3] They are gregarious animals, living in communal roosts in caves, empty trees or other available shelter, often sharing its roosts with other species of bat, such as Pallas's long-tongued bat and the long-legged bat.[4] The species breeds throughout the year.[2] References1. ^1 {{IUCN2008|assessor=Miller, B.|assessor2=Reid, F.|assessor3=Arroyo-Cabrales, J.|assessor4=Cuarón, A.D.|assessor5=de Grammont, P.C.|last-assessor-amp=yes|year=2008|id=3906|title=Carollia subrufa|downloaded=10 December 2011}} {{Phyllostomidae|L.}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q139344}}2. ^1 2 {{cite journal | author = Ortega, J.| year = 2008 | title = Carollia subrufa (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) | journal = Mammalian Species | pages = Number 823: 1–4 | doi = 10.1644/823.1|display-authors=etal}} 3. ^{{cite journal |author1=Bonaccorso, F.J. |author2=Gush, T.J. | year = 1987 | title = Feeding behaviour and foraging strategies of captive phyllostomid fruit bats: an experimental study | journal = Journal of Animal Ecology | volume = 56 | issue = 3 | jstor=4956 | pages = 907–920 | doi=10.2307/4956}} 4. ^{{cite journal |author1=Seymour, C. |author2=Dickerman, R.W. | year = 1982 | title = Observations on the long-legged bat, Macrophyllum macrophyllum, in Guatemala | journal = Journal of Mammalogy | volume = 63 | issue = 3 | jstor=1380463 | pages = 530–532 | doi=10.2307/1380463}} 3 : Carollia|Mammals described in 1905|Taxonomy articles created by Polbot |
