The Trinidad Dog-Like Bat (Peropteryx trinitatis) is a species of bat from the family Emballonuridae. It is native to Aruba, French Guinea, Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela.[1] The bat is considered to be rare everywhere in its geographic range, although this may be untrue, as the Trinidad Dog-like Bat was previously confused with the Lesser Dog-like Bat.[1] It is an aerial insectivore that roosts in hollow trees, hollow rotten logs on the ground, under overhanging banks, and caves in the Llanos of Venezuela.[1]
