The spectral bat (Vampyrum spectrum), also called the great false vampire bat or Linnaeuss false vampire bat, is a large, carnivorous leaf-nosed bat found in Mexico, Central America, and South America. It is the only member of the genus Vampyrum; its closest living relative is the big-eared woolly bat. It is the largest bat species in the New World, as well as the largest carnivorous bat: its wingspan is 0.7–1.0 m (2.3–3.3 ft). It has a robust skull and teeth, with which it delivers a powerful bite to kill its prey. Birds are frequent prey items, though it may also consume rodents, insects, and other bats.
Unlike the majority of bat species, it is monogamous. Colonies consist of an adult male and female and their offspring. The adult male will bring food back to the roost to provision the adult female and their offspring. Colonies generally roost in tree hollows, though individuals may roost in caves. Due to habitat destruction and its low population density, it is listed as a near-threatened species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Underestimation refers to the act or an instance of assessing someone or something as lower in value, quantity, importance, force, or significance than what is actually real or accurate. It often involves making a judgment or calculation that does not fully reflect the true worth, size, potential, or extent of the person or thing being estimated.

A paycheck, also spelled paycheque, pay check or pay cheque, is traditionally a paper document (a cheque) issued by an employer to pay an employee for services rendered. In recent times, the physical paycheck has been increasingly replaced by electronic direct deposits to the employees designated bank account or loaded onto a payroll card. Employees may still receive a pay slip to detail the calculations of the final payment amount.
A salary statement, commonly called a payslip, pay stub, paystub, pay advice, or sometimes paycheck stub or wage slip, is a document received by an employee that either includes a notice that the direct deposit transaction has gone through or that is attached to the paycheck. Each country has laws as to what must be included on a payslip, but this typically includes details of the gross wages for the pay period and the taxes and any other deductions the employer is required to make by law as well as other personal deductions such as retirement plan or pension contributions, insurances, garnishments, or charitable contributions taken out of the gross amount to arrive at the final net amount of the pay, also including the year to date totals in some circumstances.

The pelvic girdle, also referred to as the hip girdle, is a ring-like bony structure, located in the lower part of the trunk. It connects the axial skeleton (the spine) to the lower limbs. It is composed of two coxal bones, also known as hip bones, and the sacrum. The pelvic girdle supports the body’s weight, allows for movement and locomotion by providing attachments for muscles, and protects and houses the lower parts of the digestive and reproductive systems, as well as the urinary system.
