Pale, broad ears which extend well beyond the ears when pushed forward. The snout is square with a shallow ridge on top and a scroll-shaped end. The Pallid Bat is one of the rarest mammals in British Columbia. While this species appears to be confined to the southern Okanagan Valley, more surveys are required to delimit its range in British Columbia. It is the second largest bat in British Columbia and is unique in that it catches large ground-dwelling insects by listening for their rustling sounds and pouncing on them from out of the air.
