Scientists Discover a New Kind of Bat with Orange Fur Twitter 0 comments Bats are a staple of Halloween decor. But researchers have found a new species of nocturnal flyer that may make for an even better spooky season mascot. A newly discovered bat combines black wings with an orange body. And that color combination makes for one very cool creature. The orange-colored bat, Myotis nimbaensis (which we first learned about at The New York Times), was first found in 2018 by a team of of scientists led by the American Museum of Natural History and Bat Conservation International. They were surveying a habitat for endangered bat species in the Nimba Mountains of West Africa’s Guinea. (The bat’s scientific name means “from Nimba.”)

A new orange and black bat species is always ready for Halloween

January 25, 2021 at 6:00 am Bats, better known for their mousy looks, can have a colorful side. A new species, discovered when two bats were caught at an abandoned miners’ tunnel in western Africa, sports showy swathes of orange fur. The new finds “are just gorgeous,” says mammalogist Nancy Simmons of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

Researchers say the bat had such a distinctive look that they quickly recognized it was a species new to science. The newly described species, which they named Myotis nimbaensis, meaning “from Nimba,” may also be critically endangered and found only in this particular mountain range. This discovery, the authors say, speaks to the importance of the Nimba peaks, known as “sky islands,” to bat diversity. An orange-furred bat, new to science, has been described from the caves and mining tunnels of the Nimba Mountains in Guinea, West Africa. Led by the American Museum of Natural History and Bat Conservation International, a group of researchers encountered the fuzzy mammal in 2018 while conducting field surveys and knew right away it was a “spectacular” fin
