-Hilgendorf's Tube-Nosed Bats can be found in Kazazhstan, Mongolia, northeast China, easternmost Russia, Korea and Japan. It is a widespread, but naturally rare species that inhabits hilly and mountainous areas, taking refuge in forests, caves and sometimes buildings. They gain their name due to the small protruding nostrils in their head. They are about 5.5 cm in body length, and they have grayish fur with silver-colored long over hairs.
+Hilgendorf's tube-nosed bat is a "widespread, but naturally rare"<sup>1</sup> microbat species from the ''Vespertilionidae'' family, inhabiting hilly and mountainous areas of Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Mongolia, northeast China, and easternmost Russia, where it takes refuge in forests, caves and sometimes buildings.<sup>2</sup> Their name comes from the small, protruding nostrils in their heads. They are about 5.5 cm in body length, and have grayish fur with silver-colored guard hairs.<sup>3</sup>
-Not much is known about its habits. More often than not, they will move in four legs when on the ground. Apparently insectivorous and a ground-gleaner, as it picks its prey from the ground, searching through soil or vegetation surface. This information is verified by the many of them being caught in pitfall traps, and never being caught in traps higher than ground level.
+While relatively little is known about this elusive species, Hilgendorf's tube-nosed bat appears to be a ground-feeding specialist—a behavior highly unusual among bats, typically known as being vulnerable animals when grounded. Hilgendorf's tube-nosed bat is believed to rifle through leaf litter on all fours, picking out small invertebrates such as insects from the forest floor. This is corroborated by the fact that studied specimens have never been caught in traps higher than ground level; only pitfall traps have worked on them.<sup>4</sup>
-|trivia=* The japanese name of the animal "テングコウモリ" (tengu koumori) and part of the attire she wears as a friend shows a clear relation to the japanese mythical creature Tengu.
+|trivia=* The Japanese name of the animal, "テングコウモリ" (tengu koumori), is derived from the legendary [[wikipedia:Tengu|tengu]]; this is also reflected in the traditional mask worn by the Friend.
