Nepalese Whiskered Myotis

The wall-roosting mouse-eared bat, or Nepalese whiskered myotis, is a vesper bat whose type locality is Nepal. The fur is brown or grey above with dark bases, and on the underside has dark bases and light brown tips. The ears are moderately long, slender, bent forwards and bluntly pointed, and the long tail is fully enclosed in the interfemoral membrane (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is found from Afghanistan and India through Nepal and Southeast Asia to Papua New Guinea. It is nocturnal and insectivorous, and tends to feed during the first two hours after sunset and before dawn, using ultrasonic echolocation. It drinks by swooping low over water or by collecting droplets from the roofs of the tunnels or caves in which it roosts.
