About the Chestnut short-tailed bat

Chestnut short-tailed bat (Carollia castanea) is a mammal represented with a chestnut-marked build, chestnut natural coloring, and fur. Its common name and taxonomic group point toward forests, grasslands, mountains, or open country, with a profile shaped around plant, insect, or animal food depending on species and dawn, dusk, day, or night activity. The entry keeps the animal recognizable for mixing by emphasizing visible body structure, surface texture, color cues, and one distinctive feature rather than broad placeholder traits.
