DESCRIPTION
We have two species of bat in Taranaki, the lesser short-tailed bat
(Mystacina tuberculata rhyacobia) and New Zealand long-tailed bat
(Chalinolobus tuberculatus).
DISTRIBUTION, BREEDING AND FEEDING
Little is known about the distribution of bats in Taranaki but both the short-
tailed and long-tailed bat have been recorded here. Their ideal habitat is
mature native forest, but they have been known to inhabit exotic forestry as
well.
