Chalinolobus
''Chalinolobus'' is a genus of bats, commonly known as pied, wattled, or long-tailed bats. They have fleshy lobes at the bottom edge of their ears and on their lower lips. The bats otherwise classified in the genus ''Glauconycteris'' are included in ''Chalinolobus'' by some zoologists.

Chocolate Wattled Bat
The chocolate wattled bat, species ''Chalinolobus morio'', is a bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found only in Australia, including the island Tasmania, and widespread in southern regions. It is known to reside from sea level to at least in Victoria. Taxonomy A description of the species was published by John Edward Gray in 1841, assigning it to the genus ''Scotophilus''. There are three synonyms for the species: ''Chalinolobus australis'', ''Chalinolobus microdon'', and ''Chalinolobus signifer''. Taxonomic research on the isolated populations is lacking. The name of the genus is derived from ancient Greek: ''chalinos'', meaning 'bridle', and ''lobos'', lobe. The specific epithet is also from the greek name Moros, the "son of night". The term 'wattled' refers to a characteristic of its related species, a conspicuous lobe at the head. Description A vespertilionid, with a rich and nearly uniform brown colour that resembles milk chocolate. The colour is often lighte ...

Gould's Wattled Bat
Gould's wattled bat (''Chalinolobus gouldii'') is a species of Australian wattled bat named after the English naturalist John Gould.Chruszcz, Bryan & Barclay, M. R. (2002)''Mammalian Species'' Chalinolobus gouldii The American Society of Mammalogists. (pdf) Description ''C. gouldii'' is the largest of the genus ''Chalinolobus'', a group distinguished by fleshy lobes located at the corners of its mouth. For individuals throughout their range, the average length (head and body) is 70 ± 5 mm and average mass is 14 ± 4 g. Distribution and habitat ''C. gouldii'' is known throughout mainland Australia (excluding northern Cape York Peninsula and Nullarbor Plain) as well as Tasmania, New Caledonia, and Norfolk Island. ''C. gouldii'' is found in a variety of habitats. In wooded areas, they are mostly arboreal, though they have also been found in the stumps and hollow limbs of trees or in bird nests. They may also inhabit urban settings, such as the ceilings and basements o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
New Zealand Long-tailed Bat
The New Zealand long-tailed bat (''Chalinolobus tuberculatus''), also known as the long-tailed wattled bat or pekapeka-tou-roa (Māori), is one of 15 species of bats in the genus ''Chalinolobus'' variously known as "pied bats", "wattled bats" or "long-tailed bats". It is one of the two surviving bat species endemic to New Zealand, but is closely related to five other wattled or lobe-lipped bats in Australia and elsewhere. It was named the winner in the 2021 Bird of the Year competition in New Zealand, despite not being a bird. Description The long-tailed bat is a small brown bat (weighing 8–12 g) with a long tail connected by a patygium to its hind legs: this feature distinguishes it from New Zealand's other bat species, the short-tailed bat (''Mystacina tuberculata''). The bat's echolocation calls include a relatively low frequency component that can be heard by some people. It can fly at 60 kilometres per hour, and has a very large home range (100 km2).

New Caledonia Wattled Bat
The New Caledonian wattled bat (''Chalinolobus neocaledonicus'') is a species of vesper bat, family Vespertilionidae. It is found only in New Caledonia. Taxonomy The New Caledonia wattled bat was first described by Swiss naturalist Pierre Revilliod in 1914. It was formerly considered a subspecies of Gould's wattled bat (''Chalinolobus gouldii''), but evidence for synonymy is weak. Its species name "''neocaledonicus''" comes from Ancient Greek '' néos'' meaning "new" and the New Latin rendering of "Caledonia," ''caledonicus''; the species name refers to New Caledonia where this species is found. Description It is a small species of bat, with a head and body length of only . Its forearm is long, and its tail is long. Its ears are relatively long, at Its dental formula is , for a total of 32 teeth. Range and habitat It is one of nine species of bat found in New Caledonia. It is among the three species of bat endemic to the territory. Conservation It is considered endangered by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wilhelm Peters
Wilhelm Karl Hartwich (or Hartwig) Peters (22 April 1815 in Koldenbüttel – 20 April 1883) was a German natural history, naturalist and explorer. He was assistant to the anatomist Johannes Peter Müller and later became curator of the Natural History Museum, Berlin, Berlin Zoological Museum. Encouraged by Müller and the explorer Alexander von Humboldt, Peters travelled to Mozambique via Angola in September 1842, exploring the coastal region and the Zambesi River. He returned to Berlin with an enormous collection of natural history specimens, which he then described in ''Naturwissenschaftliche Reise nach Mossambique... in den Jahren 1842 bis 1848 ausgeführt'' (1852–1882). The work was comprehensive in its coverage, dealing with mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, river fish, insects and botany. He replaced Martin Lichtenstein as curator of the museum in 1858, and in the same year he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In a few years, he g ...

Bat Genera
Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera.''cheir'', "hand" and πτερόν''pteron'', "wing". With their forelimbs adapted as wings, they are the only mammals capable of true and sustained flight. Bats are more agile in flight than most birds, flying with their very long spread-out digits covered with a thin membrane or patagium. The smallest bat, and arguably the smallest extant mammal, is Kitti's hog-nosed bat, which is in length, across the wings and in mass. The largest bats are the flying foxes, with the giant golden-crowned flying fox, ''Acerodon jubatus'', reaching a weight of and having a wingspan of . The second largest order of mammals after rodents, bats comprise about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide, with over 1,400 species. These were traditionally divided into two suborders: the largely fruit-eating megabats, and the echolocating microbats. But more recent evidence has supported dividing the order into Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiropter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
