New species discoveries in the Earth's remaining wild places are continuing. Just one example is the new sucker-footed bat from Madagascar.
Myzopoda schliemanni doubles the number of species known in its genus, and, as a rare exception to discoveries on Madagascar, is not endangered. Field Museum biologist Steven Goodman reports the bat uses its adhesive feet to climb around on broad-leaf plants of the genus
Ravenala.
