Hilgendorf's tube-nosed bat is a small forest bat with tubular nostrils projecting beyond the muzzle, rounded ears and thick woolly fur. The coat is generally dark brown with paler or golden-tipped hairs. It occurs across northeastern Asia, including northeastern China. (Wikipedia, greater tube-nosed bat account)
It roosts alone or in small groups among foliage, tree cavities and sheltered crevices. Broad wings allow slow flight through cluttered forest, where insects and spiders are taken from vegetation or caught in the air. (Wikipedia, greater tube-nosed bat account)
