Description

Physical Description

Habitat

Red Bats spend their days hanging under the protective cover of tree leaves and clumps of Spanish Moss. The area directly beneath the roost must be unobstructed to allow the bats an easy drop at the beginning of their flight. Roosts are usually near a forest edge or body of water . The Red Bat typically roosts at heights of 1.5 - 6.1 m (5 - 20 ft ).

Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 3,333 meters (0 to 10,935 feet).[1]

Ecology: They tend to choose habitats that are sparsely to moderately populated by humans and are rare in heavily urbanized areas. Mating takes place in flight and copulation usually occurs in August or September. The sperm is stored until the spring , usually March or April. Female red bats possess four mammary glands while most other chiropterans have two. Female red bats give birth to one litter of twins each year, unlike most bats which give birth to single young. Newborn bats are hairless and weigh approximately 1.5 g. The young learn to fly at about five weeks old. Like all mammals, female red bats nurse their young until the young are able to fend for themselves. It takes young red bats about five weeks to learn how to fly and forage on their own (Myers and Hatchett 2000).
Lasiurus borealis choose roosting sites in dense foliage . They may be visible hanging from branches or leaves but their coloration helps to camouflage them from predators . Their red coat is particularly helpful at camouflaging them in sycamore, oaks, elm, and box elder trees and they seem to prefer these trees as roost sites (Constantine, 1996). Sites that have been used as roosting areas range from 2 to 40 feet off the ground . The roosting sites of solitary bats have not been as well studied as those of more gregarious bats. Some field workers believe that red bats defend feeding territories. (Constantine, 1966; Fenton, 1985)
Red bats are insectivorous . They capture insects while flying like many other insectivorous bats (Myers and Hatchett 2000). [2].

Biology

Diet

Small beetles and moths.

Reproduction

Breeding occurs in autumn, and young are born the following spring . The Red Bat generally has four, more than any other bat in North America. Young are able to fly within 3 to 4 weeks. As with all bats the females carry the young only to move them to another roost. Females roost singly in both species and do not gather with other pregnant females to form a maternity colony ."

Behavior

Various hawks and owls, Blue Jays, and Rat Snakes are known to prey on these bats.

Taxonomy

Notes

Name Status: Accepted Name .

Last scrutiny: 08-Jun-2004

Subgenus Lasiurus, borealis species group (Simmons 2005).[2].

Similar Species

The Seminole Bat is indistinguishable in body size and shape from the Red Bat, but its fur is usually bright reddish orange to chestnut or rich mahogany brown, rather than the brick or rusty red of a Red Bat. The Northern Yellow Bat is a yellowish brown, and it has fur only on the basal (anterior) one-third to one-half of the dorsal surface of its tail membrane, rather than all the way to the edge as the Hoary Bat and Red Bat do.
