The big brown bat, Eptesicus fuscus, is considered large for an American bat. They have brown to glossy copper-colored fur on their back and a light-colored belly. They have small black ears that are rounded, their lips are fleshy, and they have a broad nose. These tough creatures can withstand conditions that other bat species cannot. They are found in the northern parts of Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, northern South America, and the Caribbean Islands.

The California Myotis, Myotis californicus, is a species of vesper bat. They have pale, dull fur, a small foot, short forearm, and a relatively long tail. Their ears are medium sized—extending slightly beyond their snout when laid forward. They are inhabitants of wooded canyons, open deciduous and coniferous forests, and brushy hillsides. They can be found in in British Columbia in Canada, Guatemala, Mexico, and western United States.

The Arizona Myotis, Myotis occultus, is a medium-sized bat with brown or black fur on its back and paler fur on its underside. Its ears are short and pointed and its eyes are small. They prefer a cave habitat, but will choose other roosting areas if a suitable cave is not available. These bats are found in the southwestern United States, Arizona, extreme southeast California, Mexico and Central America.

Known predators of the western yellow bat include domestic cats and dogs and barn owls. Predators of other foliage roosting bats include birds of prey, roadrunners, and opossums. Woodpeckers and raccoons have been observed disturbing other tree-roosting species at their roosting sites. The use of pesticide threatens both bats and their insect prey. The major threat to most bat species is the loss of habitat, including open water, which degrades roosting and foraging areas.
