Desmodus stocki, or Stock's vampire bat, is an extinct species of vampire bat native to Pleistocene, North America, inhabiting states like Arizona, West Virginia, and Florida, farther north than any living vampire bats.[2][3] It weighed about 50% more than the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus), and was also more robust.[4]
