World's Least-Understood Bat Gets Fresh Look
The latest edition of the animal science journal Zookeys contains a wealth of new information on the world's least-studied species of bat. Native to just a few remote, tiny Pacific islands, the Mortlock Island's flying fox is a large fruit-eating bat that has long been regarded as the least understood bat on Earth. For more than 140 years, the only evidence that the bat even existed was a lone specimen preserved in a jar of alcohol at the Natural History Museum in London.
