Rafinesque’s Big-eared Bat

The largest maternal colony of Rafinesque’s big-eared bats documented in Texas can be found roosting at Trinity River Refuge. Rafinesque’s are found in older growth bottomland hardwood forests where they have a lot of space between trees, perfect for feeding on insects. They have rabbit-like ears essential for echolocation and to hunting and navigating through the forest at night.
