New Zealand lesser short-tailed bat
The lesser short-tailed bat (''Mystacina tuberculata''), ''pekapeka-tou-poto'' in Māori, is the only living species of bat in the family Mystacinidae,〔 and is endemic to New Zealand.
==Description==
New Zealand lesser short-tailed bats are relatively small, being in head-body length, with a wingspan of . Adults weigh before feeding, although this may increase by as much as 30% after a full night's foraging. One of only two living species of bats in New Zealand, they can be easily distinguished from New Zealand long-tailed bats by the presence of relatively large, pointed ears, prominent nostrils, and by their tails. In the short-tailed bat, the tail is only long, but extends for at least half of that length beyond the edge of the uropatagium, whereas the longer tail of the other species is entirely enclosed within it.
The bat has a long, conical snout, with numerous whiskers, and terminating in large, tubular nostrils. The tongue is long and slender, typically in length, and has a number of hair-like structures at the tip, that aid in feeding on nectar. Another unique distinguishing feature of the species is the presence of small talons at the base of the main claws on both its toes and wings, thought to aid in both crawling and climbing. The bat has very thick fur, which varies from dark brown to mousy-grey, and is slightly paler on the underside of the animal.〔
