Summary:
The fossilized remains of a giant burrowing
bat that lived in New Zealand millions of years ago have been found by a UNSW
Sydney-led international team of scientists. Teeth and bones of the extinct bat
-- which was about three times the size of an average bat today -- were
recovered from 19 to 16-million-year-old sediments near the town of St Bathans
in Central Otago on the South Island.
