'''Peters's tube-nosed bat''' (''Harpiola grisea'') is a species of [[vesper bat]] in the family [[Vespertilionidae]], found in the [[Indian subcontinent]], mainly in the [[Western Himalayas]]. They have [[wikt:Tube|tube]]-shaped [[nostrils]] (hence the name) which assist them with their feeding. They are brown with white-yellow and underparts and have specks of orange around their neck. While they are [[Bird#Resting and roosting|roosting]], their fur, which seems to appear as a dead plant, [[camouflage]]s them from [[predator]]s. They are 3.3-6.0&nbsp;cm in length and have round heads, large eyes and soft fur. This bat is found in [[India]]. They are endangered due to clearing of the rain forests in which they live in and are not protected by the [[World Conservation Union]]. They feed on rain forest [[fruit]] and blossoms.<br />
