The dubious tube-nosed bat is a small bat with very large tube-shaped ears. It lives in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, flies at night, and catches insects using echolocation.
This species differs from other bats by its very large tubular ears and special tooth structure. It is important for forests because it eats harmful insects and helps maintain natural balance.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
