Noctilio: Bulldog Bats, or Fisherman Bats
Noctilio is one of only three genera of bats now known to catch and eat fish; the others are Myotis (M. vivesi, M. adversus) and Megaderma. N. leporinus fishes over the sea, at the edge of the surf, in large rivers, and in freshwater ponds. It generally feeds at dusk and during the night but has been seen in late afternoon flight over water in the company of pelicans. Presumably the bat catches small fish disturbed by the pelicans.
