We observed true folivory behaviour (i.e., the consumption of whole leaves without discarding any part) on the night of November 17, 2020 beginning at 23:17 h. A Seba’s short tailed-bat, Carollia perspicillata — presumably a male based on previous diurnal observations — entered the roost with two full leaves of an unidentified plant species. This individual started consumption upon arrival in the roost and completed consumption of the two leaves in their entirety by 23:30 h. The consumption of these two full leaves lasted 13 min 25 s.
