5 Most Interesting Species of Bats in the US
The misunderstood bats are essential for a healthy environment. They are excellent pollinators. They fertilize the soil, eat pests, and encourage the growth of new plants by dispersing seeds. Experts believe that the bats first appeared in the earth at around 50 million years in the past. Nowadays, there are more than 1,200 types of bats and about 47 of them can be found in Canada and US.
Types of Bats that Are Found in US
Bats are the only mammal granted with the true flight ability. Their brain will also function in a complex manner. They have an echolocation ability that helps them navigate even on dark areas. There are also species of bats that can see the ultraviolet rays that helps them find nectar.
1. Western Pipistrelle
This bat has dominated the western region of the US. They are also referred to as the canyon bat. It belongs among the smallest bats in the US with a wingspan that extend up to 200mm. It is the first bat that will come out of their colony. However, they will also be the last bats that will find their shelter. Compared to the other bats, they will be finding their resting site on the crevices of the rocks. They will also look for the crevices that are in the elevation of below 5,000ft.
2. Mastiff Bat
The mastiff bat is also found in the western part of US. This is one of the largest bats found in North America. The huge wingspan of this creature will have an average measurement of 3 meters. The echolocation of this bat can be recorded even on a distance of more than 300 meters.
3. Pallid Bat
Pallid bat can also be found in Mexico and Canada. They are known for their large eyes and they love to eat scorpions and crickets. The combined weight of the insect they eat is equivalent to at least half of their overall body weight. Perhaps one of the most interesting characteristics of this bat is their skill to alter their internal temperature when they are resting or hibernating.
4. Ghost-Faced Bat
Another unique bat that you can find in the US would be the Ghost-faced bats. You will usually encounter them in Texas. The name of this bat is derived from the interesting face that highlights skin flaps. Their nose is also poorly developed, and they have large ears. They have a higher internal temperature compared to your average bats.
5. Vampire Bat
There are only three types of vampire bats that will feed on the blood of our livestock. These bats are considered as the most social creatures. The colony of the vampire bats is composed of an adult male and harem of female bats. In case they were not successful in finding blood, the other vampire bats will be sharing blood with the members of the colony.
Since the bats are considered beneficial, you should do your part in conserving these animals. Use the safe and humane method when removing them from your house. You should also install a bat house to give them an alternative shelter.
