Nepalese Whiskered Bat/Wall-roosting Mouse-eared Bat - Myotis muricola This guy wasn&#039;t too happy when he had to be handled (collected) for measurements.<br />
<br />
I was part of an expedition team doing a survey of bio-diversity of Mt. Lucia which includes a group of Bat researchers from 2 local Universities who joined the expedition to help documents species of Bats that can be found from the Mountain and also to give their students some field experience in collecting bats using mist nets and subsequently collecting data about them.  All bats collected were eventually released. Bat,Malaysia,Myotis muricola,Sabah,Tawau,Wall-roosting mouse-eared bat Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

    1. This are insect feeders, so they do need sharp teeth! Posted 7 years ago
  2. I was wondering how you got such amazing close-ups! Posted 7 years ago
    1. Ha ha, that was why I put up the 'disclaimer' about catching them.
      But this one, I was able to get close to it within 1 cm, through the glass window pane, that picture was posted separately and it was natural, before the Bat team came to catch it and do some measurements etc.
