Stock's vampire bat
Desmodus stocki, or Stock's vampire bat, is an extinct species of vampire bat native to Pleistocene Florida, farther north than any living vampire bats.[1][2] It weighed about 50% more than the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus), and was also more robust and 15-20% larger in size. [3]
