Myotis montivagus
The Burmese whiskered myotis is a medium-sized bat from the family of smooth-nosed bats. It lives in the mountainous regions of Southeast Asia and hunts insects at night.
The Burmese whiskered bat differs from related species by its larger size and long whiskers on its face. It is beneficial for nature because it destroys a large number of harmful insects.
