The Antillean Fruiteating Bat is the largest and most boisterous phyllostomid in its distribution. Snoutis short, with dermic folds rather than a proper noseleaf, giving it the appearance of a pig snout. Lower lip has median groove ridged by papillae. Fur is short, with bases of hairs ranging from white to yellowish and tips brown. Dorsal hairs are 9 mm long. Some regions of pelage have hairs with darker tips, giving a unique appearance. Distinctive brown patches sometimes occur on top of head and neck and back, forming V-shaped pattern beginning at shoulders. Ears are naked and brown. Uropatagium is greatly reduced and encloses minusculetail. Calcar is absent or very small. Dental formula of all species of Brachyphyllais 12/2, C 1/1, P2/2,M3/3 ( x2 ) = 32, and molars do not have a W-pattern. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 32 and FN = 60, with metacentric and submetacentric autosomes. X-chromosome is subtelocentric, and Y-chromosome is minute. Testes are 4-7 mm.	Xeric and mesic habitats from coasts into central mountains. The Antillean Fruit-eating Bat can be captured in understories, above canopies, and it was regularly detected higher than 20 m in an open agricultural landscape, which was interpreted as individuals commuting from large colonies to foraging areas.	The Antillean Fruit-eating Bat is omnivorous and feeds primarily on a wide variety of fruits, namely sapodilla, papaya, mango, Terminalia catappa ( Combretaceae ), Cordia ( Boraginaceae ), Andira inermis ( Fabaceae ), Calophyllum calaba ( Calophyllaceae ), and Roystonea ( Arecaceae ). Remains of Coleoptera are found in a large percentage of fecal samples. Pollen is also found in feces, and in captivity, flowers from a variety of trees are readily eaten. It is not clear whether the Antillean Fruit-eating Bat feeds on nectar, as does the Cuban Fruit-eating Bat ( Brachyphylla nana ), or whether presence of pollen and insects in feces results from flower consumption.	In Puerto Rico , the Antillean Fruit-eating Bat is polyestrous and undergoes postpartum estrus. Simultaneously pregnant and lactating females have been captured in January, March-April, June-July, and August. Lactating females have been captured in November. In St Croix, a colony of almost exclusively females with young was observed in May-June. It appears that, at any given time, part of the female population can be pregnant, lactating, post-lactating, or non-reproductive.	The Antillean Fruit-eating Bat is nocturnal and departs from roosts later than all other species with which it shares a cave, more than an hour after sunset. Individuals return before first evidence of dawn. They have been observed night roosting in caves near their day roosts. They roost in caves, anthropogenic structures, crevices, and dense trees; use ofvaried roosts has been interpreted to reflect lack of better alternatives in the Lesser Antilles. In Puerto Rico , where caves are common,it has been found roosting exclusively in open ventilated caves and in the tepid areas (c.26°C) of caves, similar to the Cuban Fruit-eating Bat. Colonies typically have a few thousand individuals.	Some colonies have several thousand individuals and they use separate night roosts, suggesting that many individuals have to disperse over long distances to forage. In Puerto Rico , presence of Antillean Fruit-eating Bats in habitats where caves are absent and its detection flying at high altitudes over wind farms and agricultural areas indicates that it can commuting long distances.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Antillean Fruit-eating Bat is common, occurring on at least 13 of the 19 majorislandsin its restricted distribution. It is also found in protected areas.	Gannon et al. (2005) | Lenoble, Angin et al.

The biology of this bat is poorly known. Individuals have been observed in a variety of habitats ranging from the xeric Guanica State Forest to the mesic Luquillo Experimental Forest, in Puerto Rico. It roost in caves; however, it is present in some habitats where cave are absent, indicates that it can uses other roosts. Its diet consists of insects, pollen, and especially fruit (like mango, papaya, and sapodilla). It forages in the canopy or take fruit that has to fallen to the ground. Information about it reproductive patters are fragmentary (Gannon et al. 2005). Twelve females from the Island of Caicos carried similar-sized fetuses in March (Buden 1977), and on St. Croix from one colony gave birth during a three-week period in late May and early June (Bond and Seaman 1958, Nellis and Ehle 1977 in Gannon et al . 2005). They have also been found roosting in buildings and other man-made structures (Allen 1939).	There are no major threats at present.	This is one of the most common fruit-eating bats on some Caribbean Islands (Gannon et al. 2005).
