[3] The expedition of researchers went out searching for Lamotte's roundleaf bat (Hipposideros lamottei) and accidentally captured M. nimbaensis in their nets.

Nimba myotis are characteristically recognized to have long, slender ears, wide noses, and tall dagger-like upper canines.

[2] They have also found another species that will be protected by the creation of tunnel passage ways to replace the shafts of the mines.

The cape hairy bat eats species like beetles, tree bugs, flies, and ants.

The Guinea, Liberia, and Côte d’Ivoire boundary is formed as a result of the Cavalla and Nuon rivers that run through the mountain range.

The team was sent as part of a plan to find ways for the species to travel through the mountains if the mines were to eventually collapse.
