26 year old long tailed bat recorded in Fiordland

The long tailed pekapeka, believed to be Aotearoa's oldest, was recorded this summer as part of a Department of Conservation monitoring programme in Fiordland. Known as T7787, she is at least 26 years old. Long tailed bats are threatened with extinction, so this is pretty significant. DOC Principal Scientist Colin O'Donnell speaks to Lisa Owen.
