The clear-wing woolen bat ( Kerivoula pellucida ) is a bat in the smooth-nosed family that is found in Southeast Asia .
features
The clearest and eponymous feature of this bat are the almost transparent orange-brown wings and ears. As with the other members of the genus, the trunk is covered with woolly fur. It has an orange-brown color on the top, while the underside is light gray to white. Few hairs appear on the orange-red skin of the face. There is no nasal sheet . The species reaches a total length of 88 to 96 mm, a tail length of 45 to 50 mm, a forearm length of 31 to 34 mm and a weight of 4 to 5 g. It has 7 to 8 mm long hind feet, 15 to 18 mm long ears and pointed teeth.
Distribution and way of life
The distribution area of the clear-wing wool bat extends from the southern Malay Peninsula via Sumatra and Borneo to Java and the Philippines . The species lives in various types of forests in the lowlands as well as in mountains up to about 1000 meters in height.
The clear-wing wool bat usually flies close to the ground and hunts with the help of echolocation . It uses calls with a frequency between 58 and 178 kHz. Females can be ready to mate at different times of the year. One litter contains a young animal that clings to its mother's fur during excursions. Sexual maturity occurs after about a year. The dense foliage serves as a resting place, e.g. B. of banana plants.
status
The species is threatened by deforestation and other changes in the landscape. The IUCN assumes that the population will decrease by 30 percent over the next 15 years (three generations). The clear-winged woolly bat has been added to the Near Threatened list.
