Bats are very misunderstood creatures.
While the public perceives them as an evil menace, they are actually very gentle animals that need to be respected, not needlessly destroyed. There are seven species of bats found in Nebraska. This bat is about 5 inches from nose to tail. As its name suggests, this species is brown with darker brown skin exposed on the nose, ears and wings. The underside is a pale brown color.
