Another new species of bats that has shocked the world has been revealed, scientists are stunned by seeing its orange color.
Washington: Just a glimpse of an inverted bat is enough to create fear
in any person. Most of us would never
have imagined the color of the bats that rock the world with the Corona
epidemic, only to see black bats. But
scientists have found the Orange Bat.
A brand new
species of bat
Scientists have said that this
is a completely new species of bats. Not
only is it orange in color, but it is also fluffy. On Wednesday, scientists have published their
study about this bat in the scientific journal American Museum Novates.
It is revealed in this study that it is a completely new species of
bats.
Orange bats found
in African country
Scientists have found this
interesting species of bats in the West African country of Guinea. John Flanders, director of Bet Conservation
International, a non-profit organization in Austin, Texas, said that 'it was a
goal of life in a way but I never thought it would be accomplished. Although every species is important, but you
are always ready for interesting looking creatures and it is really fantastic.
He said that many new species are being discovered in laboratories,
but going to the forest to find a completely new species in this way is brand
new.
Nancy Simmons, curator of
mammals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, says, "It
is as if experienced researchers went into the field and they went there and
caught an animal and took it in hand."
This is something we cannot identify.
Orange bats Found
new species of male and female bats
This new species of bat named
Myotis Nimbaensis lives on the Nimba Mountains of Guinea. Although scientists did not want to say that
this is a new species. Therefore, they
also caught a male and a female species of this bat for accurate investigation. Simmons then traveled to the Smithsonian
National Museum in Washington DC and the British Museum in London to compare
specimens of this species.
Genetic analysis revealed that this orange bat is completely different
from its closest relatives. This was the
first step towards declaring it a new species.
In a way, it looks like a common black-winged bats but its orange color
has made it popular.
