Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis)
The Indiana Bat
The Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis), sometimes called the social bat, is currently listed as endangered, primarily due to the destruction of the caves they live in.
Indiana bats give birth to only one young in midsummer. These young bats are capable of flight in a month. The remainder of the summer and fall is then spent accumulating fat reserves for hibernation.
