The Far Eastern myotis is a medium-sized bat with notably long ears and reddish-brown fur. It occurs in northeastern China, Korea, Japan and eastern Russia. The species is associated with temperate forest and commonly uses caves or tunnels as roosts. (Wikipedia, general species account)
Broad wings and large ears support slow, manoeuvrable flight close to vegetation. Moths and other insects are detected by echolocation and by listening for prey-generated sounds. Females form maternity colonies during the breeding season. (Wikipedia, general species account)
