Spotted Bat (Euderma maculatum)

I have posted this species before - but this is another excellent example of a bat that does not fit the "brown or gray" category. The spotted bat is one of the most unique bats in North America, partly because of its huge ears, but also because of the three white spots on its back, and furry white underside.


They are rarely seen.
