New mammal

Bent winged bats have the unusual feature of being able to fold their wings up doubly rather than merely tuck them in to their sides as other bats do. But there's something else unusual about this species. It doesn't seem to quite match any other bent winged bats already in the records. New species of mammals are incredibly rare to find, but it looks like the team may have got lucky.
