Ozark big-eared bat

The Ozark big-eared bat is an endangered species found only in a small number of caves in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, the southern central United States. Also known as the western big-eared bat, the long-eared bat, and the lump-nosed bat, its appearance is defined by a pair of outsize ears and a lump-adorned nose. The Ozark big-eared bat is the largest and reddest of the five subspecies of Corynorhinus townsendii and is medium-sized and weighs from 0.2 to 0.5 ounces.[1] It has very large, 1-in-long ears that connect at the base across the forehead.[1] The snout has large, prominent lumps above the nostrils.[1] These particular bats feed on moths and other insects; they forage along forest edges.[1]
