The American hog-nosed bat (Craseonycteris americanum), also known as the American bumblebee bat, is a species of bat of the family Craseonycteridae, most closely related to the Kitti's hog-nosed bat (Craseonycteris thonglongyai) of Asia, which originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, forests, swamps, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American hog-nosed bat, along with its Asian relative, is the smallest species of bat and among the world's smallest mammal, growing only to be about 29 to 33 mm (1.1 to 1.3 inches) in length and 2 g (0.071 oz) in mass. It has a reddish-brown or grey coat, with a distinctive pig-like snout. Colonies range greatly in size, with an average of 100 individuals per cave, tree, or building. The bat feeds during short activity periods in the evening and dawn, foraging around nearby forest areas for insects. Females give birth annually to a single offspring. The conservation status of the American hog-nosed bat is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American hog-nosed bat's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
