Hardwicke's Woolly Bat
Hardwicke's woolly bat (''Kerivoula hardwickii'') is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. Geographic range It is found in Bangladesh, China, India (Assam, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and West Bengal), Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan (Punjab), Philippines, Sri Lanka (Central Province), Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam. Its upper elevation limits are 2,500 meters and 100 meters above sea level. The current population of these bats is stable. Habitat and ecology In Southeast China this mammal is found to be quite common in the forest, but the number found, the population sizes, and ecological trends are unknown in South Asia. The only known information for the bat in this area is that it can be found in the warmer valleys of northeast Indonesia and in rice pad fields in Sri Lanka. They are also reported to be seen roosting in caves and buildings in the forests in these regions. This bat is mostly found in the tropi ...

Kachin Woolly Bat
The Kachin woolly bat (''Kerivoula kachinensis'') is a species of bat found in Southeast Asia. Taxonomy and etymology It was initially described as a new species in 2004. Its species name "''kachinensis''" is derived from Kachin State—the state in Myanmar where it was first documented. Description It is a relatively large member of its genus, with a forearm length of . Individuals weigh approximately . Its fur is grayish-brown. Its ears are large and hairless. The tragus is long and narrow, at . Its tail is long. Its skull has a flattened appearance. Its dental formula is for a total of 38 teeth. Biology and ecology It is nocturnal, roosting during the day and foraging at night. The state of its flattened skull led some researchers to hypothesize that during the day it roosts in small, constricted spaces. Range and habitat It was first documented in Myanmar in 2004, but its range was quickly expanded to Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand after documentation in 2 ...

Clear-winged Woolly Bat
The clear-winged woolly bat (''Kerivoula pellucida'') is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Members of this species are relatively small, typically weighing about 4.5g and mainly forages in the understory of tropical forests. This species also presents a unique variant of echolocation that is a higher intensity and lower frequency than most other kerivoula calls. The sort range calls are distinguishable from the long range orientational echolocation calls by peak frequency and duration. Appearance As the name suggests, this bat has relatively translucent In the field of optics, transparency (also called pellucidity or diaphaneity) is the physical property of allowing light to pass through the material without appreciable scattering of light. On a macroscopic scale (one in which the dimensions ... wings that are approximately 30-32 millimeters long. Translucent wings are a unique feature f ...

Papillose Woolly Bat
The papillose woolly bat (''Kerivoula papillosa'') is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in Brunei, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

Bismarck's Trumpet-eared Bat
The Bismarck trumpet-eared bat (''Kerivoula myrella''), also known as the Manus Island woolly bat, is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in subtropical or tropical dry forests. Taxonomy The Bismarck trumpet-eared bat was described as a new species in 1914 by British mammalogist Oldfield Thomas. The holotype had been collected on Manus Island, which is part of the Bismarck Archipelago. Description Overall, the Bismarck trumpet-eared bat is similar in appearance to Hardwicke's woolly bat. It has a forearm length of . Biology and ecology It is an echolocating species with frequency modulation of its calls. The calls are broadband, with very slight curvature of the downward sweep of call frequencies. Its echolocation calls have low energy, meaning that it is unlikely to be detected by acoustic detectors unless it passes close to the device's microphone. Range and habitat It is found in Papua New Guinea, though its range may also include Indonesi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tanzanian Woolly Bat
The Tanzanian woolly bat or Dobson's painted bata (''Kerivoula africana'') is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found only in Tanzania. Locally, it is known as the "popo" or "tunge". Taxonomy and etymology It was initially described by Irish zoologist George Edward Dobson in 1878. He described the species based on a specimen collected by French zoologist Achille Raffray in 1875 in Zanzibar. Its species name "''africana''" is a New Latin derivative of Latin āfricānus, meaning "African". Description In his 1878 description of the species, Dobson stated that its ears and tragus were similar in appearance to that of Hardwicke's woolly bat, ''Kerivoula hardwicki''. It lacks fur between its eyes, but has a fringe of longer hairs along its lips. Its dorsal fur is bicolored, with the base of individual hairs dark brown and the tip grayish brown. Fur on the ventral surface is also bicolored, but the color is lighter overall. Its head and body is long; it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
