Intrigu
ing,especially a possible new species of bat. Finds like these force me to wonder what else is running (flying?) around the islands. Enjoy!

That was good of you Stu, thanks! I always get a thrill when I learn of previously undocumented life being discovered. I hope I can share that with others.

It's a shame creatures like this don't get the attention of pandas and manatees just because they're not as cute.
