The Kitti's hog-nosed bat belongs to the Chiroptera order.
Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera ( [ kaɪˈrɒptərə ] from the χείρ - cheir , `` hand '' and πτερόν - pteron , `` wing '' ) whose forelimbs form webbed wings , making them the only mammals naturally capable of true and sustained flight . Kitti 's hog-nosed bat ( Craseonycteris thonglongyai ) , also known as the bumblebee bat , is a vulnerable species of bat and the only extant member of the family Craseonycteridae . It occurs in western Thailand and southeast Burma , where it occupies limestone caves along rivers . The bat feeds during short activity periods in the evening and dawn , foraging around nearby forest areas for insects .
