Hoary bat munches! Hoary bats are some of the floofiest bats we see, they even have some fur along their wings. They have a long, fluffy tail that they use to keep warm by wrapping it up over their abdomen. 🦇

Sound up! Throwback to the Allen's big-eared bat. We usually post bats chewing mealworms but soft diet chewing is cute too. 🦇

Repeat PSA: Don't use glue traps/fly paper! This Mexican free-tailed bat got lucky but many don't get saved. Please let people know that glue traps of any kind are inhumane and dangerous. 🦇

#bats #arizona #wildanimals
Small, wet bat held in a cloth that was in a flypaper trap. Bat is covered in oil (to remove the glue) and glue residue. Small brownish bat held in a blue cloth. Same bat as prior but all clean.

Arizona is home to 5 species of free-tailed bats (family Molossidae) and we currently have 4 in care. They definitely look related but when they are all together you can really see their differences. They are all very mellow, gentle, and social bats. 🦇

Please welcome our newest bat, a big free-tailed bat (N. macrotis). She came to us from Nebraska Wildlife Rehab. They assume she was blown off course during a storm. Since they aren't found in NE, they brought her to us for release. For now we have 4 of the 5 species of free-tailed bats in AZ. 🦇
