The Hoary Bat is a large species of bat found across North America, known for its distinctive fur that appears frosted or grayish. It typically has a wingspan of about 13 to 16 inches and weighs between 0.5 to 1 ounce. This bat prefers forested areas and is often seen flying at high altitudes, foraging for insects during the night. Hoary Bats are migratory, traveling long distances to find suitable habitats. They roost in trees, often hanging from branches, and are solitary creatures. Their population is affected by habitat loss and threats such as wind turbines, making conservation efforts important for their survival.
