The bat was observed at about 2m above the ground on a tree trunk of one of the trees at the Picnic Site. My best guess is a Mauritian Tomb bat based on its appearance and being observed roosting on a tree trunk and scuttling around the trunk when we got too close, which is typical behaviour according to field guides |
