Its only living relative is the endangered Short-tailed Bat of New Zealand, which chews into rotting trees to make long burrows. Unlike most bats, which hunt by catching insects in flight, the Burrowing Bat probably searched through leaf litter on the forest floor for beetles, crickets and other insects.
