Kerivoula Picta - Painted Bat - 20 x 25cm

The Kerivoula Picta, commonly known as the painted bat, is an extraordinary and rare mammal that captivates with its vibrant appearance. With a body length of 4 to 6 centimeters and a wingspan of 20 to 30 centimeters, this small bat is a true natural marvel. Its fur is a brilliant orange, with black-tipped wings that form a stunning contrast, resembling a miniature flame in flight.

The Kerivoula Picta is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, particularly in countries like India, Sri Lanka, and parts of Southeast Asia. It inhabits forests, caves, and even abandoned structures, where it roosts during the day. This bat is primarily insectivorous, feeding on small insects such as moths and flies. Its unique coloration helps it blend into the vibrant foliage of its habitat, serving as both camouflage and a remarkable display of nature’s artistry.
