Antarian foxbat

The Antarian foxbat is an animal native to a planet in the Antares system, possibly Antares or Antares B III.

It is noted for its exceptional hearing and being nearly impossible to sneak up on.

History
In 2273, an Abaris pirate stealthily followed a landing party from the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) through a labyrinth of tunnels within a buried pyramid. At one point, Spock thought he heard footsteps. She admonished herself for being too close, and regarded Vulcans as being harder to track than an Antarian foxbat.
