You are a Bulldog Bat!
(Noctilio labialis)

The bulldog bat is also called the fishing or fisherman bat.  They range from Mexico to northern Argentina and roost near the water in hollow trees or crevices in rocks.

They are 98 to 132 mm with a wingspan of 51cm and weigh 60 to 78 grams.  Their head, shoulders and midback are covered with short, reddish fur, the rest of the bat is hairless.

The bats forage for food at night using echolocation to find the fish which they catch with their feet.  If knocked into the water it is able to swim, using its wings as oars.

 A postage stamp was created to honor bulldog bats.
