Extractions: Austin, Texas 78716 Updated 4/24/01 IMAGES REFERENCE INFORMATION 1. Spotted bat ( Euderma maculatum ) roosting in rock crevice (#1 of 10) The spotted bat ( Euderma maculatum ) is one of America's most striking mammals. Initially thought to be extremely rare, the spotted bat is now known to occupy a rather large range throughout western North America from southern British Columbia to northern Mexico. Spotted bats appear to feed almost exclusively on moths, using high-pitched echolocation calls that are audible to humans. This speciesÂ’ population status is uncertain and more information is needed about its habits and life history. 2. Lesser long-nosed bat ( Leptonycteris curasoae ) in flight to saguaro flower (#2 of 10) The lesser long-nosed bat ( Leptonycteris curasoae ) is one of three North American species that feed exclusively on the fruit and nectar of night-blooming cacti including saguaro and organ pipe, as well as many species of agave. Bats are important to the reproductive biology of these plants. For example, in the absence of bats, the seed set of the agave falls to one three-thousandth of normal. Lesser long-nosed bats are found in southern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico and throughout Mexico and Baja California. In 1988, these bats were listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as endangered. Roost disturbance and possible effects of habitat loss such as the over-harvesting of agaves in Mexico represent their primary threats.
Extractions: AREA-[ ARTICLE ] EIGHT MORE North American bats have been added to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service list of species being considered as candidates for endangered or threatened status. This brings the total to an alarming 56 percent of our bat species that are endangered or are under consideration for listing. There are 43 bat species in the United States and Canada. Bats now have the highest percentage of endangered or candidate species among all land mammals in the United States and Canada. The new listings were included in the Federal Register published in November 1994. Although inclusion on the list is not a formal proposal for endangered or threatened status, it is the first step toward gaining official protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). All of the additional bats on the new list are Category 2 status, which means that while there is enough information to indicate that a proposal may be appropriate, conclusive data on biological vulnerability and threat are not currently available. The additional North American bats on the list are Idionycteris phyllotis (Allen's lappet-browed bat)

SchoolWorld Endangered Species Project: Ghostbat endangered/threatened Species Report Although I had some knowledge on othertypes of bats, the Ghost bat was very unfamiliar to me. http://www.schoolworld.asn.au/species/ghostbat.html
Extractions: Original artwork by Nick Nikolovski The Ghost bat is quite large in size, it is 100 -130mm long and had a forearm length of 102-112mm. The ghost bats weight varies between 140 and 165 grams. The Ghost bat is quite pale in appearance with pale grey black fur. It has very large ears which stand directly above the face. The ghost bat has large eyes and no visible tail. Ghost bats are sometimes called false vampires as it was thought that they sucked blood like the south American Vampires bats, though the ghost bats are not in fact vampires. The Ghost bat has no real predators as it is more accurately described as being the predator rather than the attacker of small creatures. The Ghost bat is a cannibal, therefore it eats all different animals. They eat birds, other bats, and small insects. Much of the prey is caught on a vertical surface, and during feeding periods it is said that the Ghost bat makes loud bird like sounds. The Ghost Bat only takes a few seconds to kill and drag the innocent prey into shelter. The Ghost bat is nocturnal, thus during broad daylight the ghost bat stays in a cave or in large cracks of rocks. It is a shy animal and therefore it is rarely seen by others.
