Hard to miss those ears. 🦇
Meet Townsend’s big-eared bat, a California native with a taste for moths and a need for a quiet place to roost.
These bats are sensitive to disturbance, so protecting their resting places is a big part of looking out for them.
It’s also a good reminder that different bats need different kinds of homes. Bat houses can offer roosting space for some species. Townsend’s big-eared bats prefer open, cave-like spaces.
Understanding those differences is part of helping bats responsibly, whether you’re protecting habitat or thinking about adding a bat house to your property.
