Brown Long-Eared Bat

Introduction

Brown long-eared bats are medium-sized. Their ears are nearly as long as their body but not always obvious: when at rest they curl their ears back like rams’ horns, or tuck them away completely under their wings leaving only the pointed inner lobe of the ear (the tragus) visible. Brown long-eared bats feed in large gardens, along hedgerows, in parks and in woodlands.
