| description | Albinism is a phenomenon that is not very common in bats. In the literature, sixty-seven bat species with this mutation have been reported. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of complete albinism in Carollia perspicillata. A young male albino bat was captured in a culvert under the BR 364 highway, located within an anthropogenic area in the district of Caiçara, municipality of Porto Velho, in the northern Brazilian state of Rondônia. The animal was apparently well integrated into the group, healthy and of normal size for the species. A brief review of albinism in bats is also provided. |
