Wildlife technician process a Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus)

            Glacier National Park and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks invite the public to a late-evening “Going Batty” field trip in Glacier. This free field trip provides an opportunity to learn about bats, their amazing adaptations, and some of the threats they face.

Bats make up one fourth of all mammalian species found on Earth. They range in size from the tiny bumblebee bat, weighing less than a penny, to the flying fox bat, which can have a wingspan of up to six feet.

In Glacier National Park, biologists have confirmed the presence of 10 bat species. The most recent addition, the Western Small-footed Bat, was confirmed during the 2022 “Going Batty” event. Three other species were added in recent years due to the park’s efforts to inventory and monitor bats. These monitoring efforts are critical as bats face several threats, including a disease known as white-nose syndrome which is predicted to arrive in the park at any time.

In this image, a wildlife technician holds a Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus).
