🦇Common vampire bat
Desmodus rotundus, (Türkçe: Vampir yarasa) küçük, yaprak burunlu bir Amerikalı yerlisidir. Hâlâ geçerliliğini koruyan üç vampir yarasa türünden biridir, diğer iki türü kıllı bacaklı ve beyaz kanatlı vampir yarasadır. Bu türler parazit memelilerdir. Vampir yarasanın başlıca besin kaynağı çiftlik hayvanlarının kanıdır, avına geceleri onlar uyuduğunda yaklaşır. Konakçısının derisini keserek açmak ve uzun dilleriyle kanlarını yalamak için keskin dişlerini kullanırlar. Türler büyük ölçüde çok eşlidirler ve baskın yetişkin erkekler dişilerin haremini korurlar. Ailesellik, sosyal bakım ve yiyecek paylaşımı gibi kooperatif davranışlar bakımından en sosyal yarasa türlerinden biridir. Çünkü çiftlik hayvanlarının kanıyla beslendiğinden ve kuduz taşıyıcısı olduğundan, vampir yarasalar bir haşere olarak kabul edilirler. Onun koruma statüsü, Dünya Korunma Birliği tarafından en az endişe verici olarak kategorize edilir.
