Mystacinidae Family
These bats are unique in their ability to hide their wings beneath a leathery membrane when not in use. Partially as a result of this adaptation, mystacinids are
unusually well adapted to foraging on the ground, and spend a large percentage of their waking time hunting prey on the forest floor. They are also known to burrow.
They also have very tough wing membranes and relatively broad wings, which allow them to take off from a flat surface. [eng]

New Zealand Short-tailed Bats
The systematic position of the Mystacinidae long has been questionable. In recent years this family usually has been placed in the superfamily Vespertilionoidea, together with the Vespertilionidae, Molossidae, and related families. [eng]
