New species of bat found, Niumbaha superba, and it’s adorable.
Oh wow! I’m glad people are as excited about animals as I am. Here’s some additional photos. Fun fact: this bat is so different from others that a new genus was created!

I grew up very very close to Featherdale, and went there multiple times as a child. They’re a tiny little zoo specialising in Australian fauna, particularly specimens with albinism, and they have an impressive collection of birds and bats. Everyone goes on about Taronga, and while it’s great, I think Featherdale’s pretty awesome, and a great alternative for those who can be bothered to travel outside Sydney City to the Western Suburbs.
