Disk-winged Bat

Description

This one was a lifer for me. This is a disk-winged bat, family Thyropteridae, and yes, it has suction cups on its wrists and ankles. They roost in unfurling banana leaves (very slick) and since the leaves unfurl in a near-vertical position, the suction cups are necessary. So cool.
