This little cutie is actually the fearsome vampire bat! You can see its two little fangs. They use the fangs to slice, not puncture, and their saliva has an anti-coagulant to prevent the wound from closing while they feed.
They are only 2-3 inches big with a 7 inch wing span, so the incision is tiny. Found primarily in Latin America, they prefer to feed on sleeping livestock and birds, so human interaction is very rare. #batweek
