Critically Endangered Species
The Tsushima Tube-Nosed Bat, Known as The Gloomy Tube-Nosed Bat (Murina Tenebrosa) is a critically endangered species of vesper bat belonging to the Vespertilionidae family.

This rare bat is known for its tubular nostrils. The species' unique nose lets the bat breathe while inserting its face into the fruit to collect the juice.

The species is known for its short blunt snout, protruding eyes, and leaf-like yellow spots on ears and wings. The brown body and long tubular nostrils are the commonly known physical traits of the Gloomy Tube-Nosed Bat.

Attempts to locate this species have failed due to widespread, damning deforestation and destruction of caves throughout the Island.

In Japan, the M. Tenebrosa, studied by the Alliance For Zero Extinction, is a species in danger of imminent extinction. Information collected on the bat is rare because biologists rely on a female holotype collected in a cave on Tsushima Island in 1962.

Bats are crucial for our ecosystems, as they are vital pollinators. Eating figs and other tropical fruits. They spread pollen from plant to plant and transmit seeds as they soar.

Without bats, our agricultural systems would suffer from a lack of pollination. The Tsushima Islands are known for their tropical beauty failing due to deforestation and critical endangerment of species similar to the Murina Tenebrosa. The loss of Tube-Nosed Bats native to the Island will immediately negatively impact the Island's ecosystems and the economy.
