The batman of Mexico has his own bat-cave. He just shares it with 4,000 Mexican long-nosed bats. In this episode, join researcher Rodrigo Medellin as he descends into the Devil’s Cave just north of Mexico City. It’s a journey that started decades ago when Medellin was on a game show as a boy. He lost the game show, but won a prize far more valuable—for himself, his students, and Mexico’s bats. Ari Daniel Shapiro reports from Tepoztlán.

Figure 2.Map of Central and South America, showing the combined distribution range of species formerly ascribed to Sturnira lilium (gray tone) and the type localities (stars) of species in the Sturnira lilium complex. The localities where Sturnira burtonlimi (top inset) and Sturnira bakeri (bottom inset) occur are also shown; type localities are represented by a star and paratypes with circles. Note that Sturnira burtonlimi and Sturnira luisi occur in sympatry.

Known as White-lined bats or Geoffroy's Rayed Bats. These have been banded, which is not surprising, as they have chosen to roost at the Smithsonian Research Institute of Barro Colorado Island, Panama.

In Sturnira bakeri, the sphenorbital fissure is oval (arrow). In Sturnira luisi, however, the sphenorbital fissure is semicircular (arrow).

In Sturnira bakeri the I1 is bicuspidate. In Sturnira burtonlimi, however, the I1 is unicuspidate.
