New Bat Species Found In Lava Tunnel. And It's Thumb-Size.

This is AMAZING.

Some scientist types found a new species of bat. On a volcanic island in Africa's Comoros chain. In a lava tunnel. A LAVA TUNNEL! And that's not even the most amazing bit. Because as you can see, there are two bats in the picture - that's right, they found a new species of bat in a lava tunnel, shagging.

Oh, and it's no bigger than a human thumb and weighs just 5 grams.

We bow down to you Aellen's long-fingered bat.
