Little Brown bats

The Little Brown bat is one of the most common bats in North America, and has been a model organism for bat studies and research. As the bat's name suggests, it's fur is uniformly dark brown and glossy on the back. The upper body is slightly paler, with greyish fur underneath.

This species of bat has 38 teeth, all of which are relatively sharp. As is typical for insectivores, this natural exterminator has canines that are very prominent, enabling it to grasp hard-bodied insects; while still in flight.

Pest management experts report that a strong population of Little Brown bats, will provide effective bug and insect control services to homeowners and farmers, by consuming tons of insect pests; year after year.
