Big brown bat

Big brown bats are associated primarily with human structures during the
spring, summer, and fall.  Consequently, they are the bats most often
encountered by humans.  All known Kentucky maternity sites have been found in
buildings of some type or under bridges.  These hardy bats also roost in the
eaves of buildings during winter unless the temperatures become too extreme.
In winter, big brown bats hibernate primarily in caves where they are usually
found in the coldest sections near the entrance.  Big brown bats have adapted
well to the changes that humans have brought to the landscape, and they are
often found in association with settlement.  The species forages in a great
variety of open and semi-open habitats, often around both urban and rural
street lights.  These bats have relatively large teeth, which aid them in
consuming their preferred prey -- beetles.  Maternity colonies typically
consist of from several to more than a hundred females.  Each bat generally
gives birth to twins in early June.  Males may join the maternity colonies or
roost alone.  In winter, these bats typically roost singly or in small groups
of less than a half-dozen individuals in caves, often in crevices in the rock.
