Big Brown Bat Eptesicus fuscus
Washington state is home to 15 species of bats. The big brown bat is one of the largest bat species in Washington and features a heavy body, large head, and broad nose. The large, powerful jaw musculature and heavy teeth of big brown bats allow them to feed on hard-bodied insects as well as other prey. Big brown bats range from southern and central Canada to northern South America and the Caribbean. This species is present throughout Washington. (WDFW)
