Got any adorable photos of Lasionycteris noctivagans? P.S.: a related question; are LANO capable of taking off from the ground, or are they a 'must drop to fly' bat species?

Silver-haired Bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans)
Technically all bats can take off from the ground, however, most species can not do it very well*, and the silver-haired bat is no exception to that.
*There's only a couple species that are known to be good at taking off from the ground: the common vampire bat, the pallid bat, and the New Zealand short-tailed bats.
