Thanks, @AfriBats for pointing its 2 different species. The staff from the Park told me they are the same species, that's why I posted both in the same Spotting. I have now separated the 2 Spottings.

Could you split this into 2 spottings? The 1st photo shows a sheath-tailed bat (fam. Emballonuridae), the 2nd photo a woolly bat (Kerivoula sp.). And please add it to this mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/6543173

Yes, I always try to talk to the staff of the Park and usually, they are happy to explain or show some interesting stuff to the visitors :)

Nice find ! Staffs in Tawau Hills Park really like to show visitors these sleeping bats in those plants.
