Hispaniolan Greater Funnel-eared Bat

The Hispaniolan greater funnel-eared bat (Natalus major) is a funnel-eared bat species endemic to the island of Hispaniola (in both the Dominican Republic and Haiti) in the Caribbean. First described in 1902, it has a complex taxonomic history, with some authors identifying multiple subspecies, now recognised as the separate species Natalus primus and Natalus jamaicensis, and others considering Natalus major to be itself a subspecies of Natalus stramineus. It lives primarily in caves and feeds on insects.
