Furipteridae is one of the families of bats. This family contains only two species, the smokey bat and the thumbless bat. Both are from Central and South America, and are closely related to the bats in the families Natalidae and Thyropteridae. They can be recognized by their reduced and functionless thumbs, enclosed by the wing membranes, and their broad, funnel-shaped ears. There are only two genera in the group, each with a single species. They are insectivorous and can live in many different kinds of environments. They have greyish fur, and a small nose-leaf. Like many bats, they roost in caves. ==Taxonomy== *Genus ''Amorphochilus'' * *''Amorphochilus schnablii'', smokey bat *Genus ''Furipterus'' * *''Furipterus horrens'', thumbless bat 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Furipteridae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
