Meanings of common vampire bat in English

Compared to other bats, the common vampire bat (and probably the other vampire bats too) is much more sensitive to low-frequency sounds.

The common vampire bat usually feeds on mammals: mostly domestic species like cattle and horses, but also wild animals such as capybara, peccaries and tapir.

For instance, common vampire bats can recognise individual humans by their breathing sounds.

Common vampire bat populations distributed from Mexico to Argentina are important rabies reservoir hosts in Latin America.
