NEW DELHI: A Wroughton's free-tailed bat (Otomops wroughtoni) has been sighted at north Delhi's Yamuna Biodiversity Park (YBP), which chiropterologists (experts who study bats) say is the first record not just for Delhi-NCR but northern India too.
The bat is generally seen in the western ghats near Karnataka, with recent records from northeast India's Meghalaya and Cambodia, making this a rare species in this part of the country.
Historically, 14 bat species have been recorded in the Capital, with this being the 15th unique species in the region, experts said.
