#hoarybat

Meet the hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus)!🦇 This mammal has a wide range that spans northern Canada to parts of South America, and even Hawaii. In fact, it’s the most widespread bat in the Americas, and a subspecies (Lasiurus cinereus semotus) is thought to be Hawaii’s only living native land mammal! Large moths make up the majority of its diet, along with beetles and grasshoppers. Photo: J. N.

Given the inspiration, it felt appropriate to post it on this account!

Bit late, but here’s my @Batman day post, I actually was not aware of the type of bat this is. Thanks @pinterest #batmanday #hoarybat #sketch #vancouver #celebrategoodtimes https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ya4h5h5nI/?igshid=3moqgyklc0yt
