Since 2015, koalas in the hinterland forests of north-east NSW and use of passive acoustics have been a major research focus.
Fishing bats, Myotis macropus, feed on aquatic insects and small fish.
They are small animals – an adult human could fit a fishing bat in their hand.
They fly close to the surface of streams, ponds or lagoons.
To catch their prey, they rake the water with the curved claws on their large feet. Their scientific name refers to the size of their feet relative to the size of their bodies.
