Resumo
This paper aims to describe the thermoregulatory behavior on Sun exposure by the phyllostomid bat Mimon bennettii (Gray, 1838). This behavior was recorded at the entrance of a small limestone cave in southern Brazil. This kind of thermoregulation can be considered a behavioral convergence with pteropodid bats, and perhaps a necessity in bats occurring in subtropical and temperate regions.(AU)
