Almost nothing is known concerning the chiropteran fauna on the Grenadine Islands, a chain of islands between St. Vincent and Grenada located near the southern end of the Lesser Antilles.

On 20 December 2008, a female mountain lion and spotted kitten were photographed in the northwestern part of the state. On 9 May …
