Long Eared Bat

As its name suggests, the long-eared bat is distinguished by its prominent long ears, which extend beyond the length of its nose. Its slender body is covered in fur, typically shades of brown or gray. Its wings are membranous and elongated, allowing for swift and agile flight. Like other bats, the Long-eared Bat is nocturnal, emerging from roosts at dusk to hunt for insects using echolocation.

Basic Information

Ecology and Habitats

The Long-eared Bat typically inhabits various habitats, including forests, woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands. It seeks out roosting sites in secluded locations such as caves, tree hollows, buildings, and bat houses, where it can rest during the day and raise its young. These bats are adaptable creatures, capable of surviving in diverse environments as long as suitable roosting and foraging opportunities are available.

Additional Information

Domestication

The domestication of the Long-eared Bat is not practiced in Terra. Bats, including the Long-eared Bat, have complex social structures, specialized dietary needs, and specific habitat requirements that make them unsuitable candidates for domestication.

Uses, Products & Exploitation

The people of Terra do not extensively utilize the Long-eared Bat. Unlike certain animals that may provide food, materials, or labor, Long-eared Bats do not have direct utility for humans. However, they indirectly benefit humans by helping to control insect populations, particularly pests that can damage crops or spread diseases.
