Adding Information

I would like to add the following information to this page: This bat's most striking feature is a very elongated spear-shaped nose-leaf covered in hair--a feature unique to this species; the ears are large and broad.

This is my first time editing in Wikipedia. Full discloser, this is part of an assignment for a class I am taking. I chose bats because I think they are really cool and important to our world.

Also, the information I would like to add I got from a library book which I have in my possession for citation purposes. Aurafaison (talk) 21:00, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article's picture

The picture of the bat in the book looks different from the one posted in the article. The main difference is the "spear shaped nose". I can provide a picture from the book, by taking one with my phone, but I don't know how to upload it to this talk page. Aurafaison (talk) 23:37, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The scientific name doesn't match the one in the link provided

The scientific name listed in the article, Gardnerycteris crenulata, doesn't match the name in the link provided, Gardnerycteris crenulatum. Are both spellings correct? Aurafaison (talk) 22:05, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where the bats live

The locations for habitations listed in the book are different than the prior locations listed according to a website source. I don't know which is correct or if either is incorrect, but it's confusing. Aurafaison (talk) 22:13, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
