Description

Spotted bats are arguably one of the most beautiful and interesting species of bats in North America. They occur from Central Mexico to Canada and inhabit crevices in steep rock walls and canyons. Spotted bats feed on moths and can travel over 100 km per night from their roosts to their feeding grounds.
