Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

The big free-tailed bat (Nyctinomops macrotis) is a bat species found in the Americas.

Taxonomy

It was described as a new species in 1839 by British zoologist John Edward Gray. Gray placed it in the now-defunct genus Nyctinomus, with a binomial of Nyctinomus macrotis. The holotype had been collected in Cuba by William Sharp Macleay.[1]

Description

It is the largest member of Nyctinomops,[2] with an average forearm length of Шаблон:Cvt.[3] Individuals weigh approximately Шаблон:Cvt. It has a wingspan of Шаблон:Cvt. Its fur is glossy and variable in color, ranging from pale, reddish brown to dark brown or blackish.[3] Its dental formula is Шаблон:DentalFormula for a total of 30 teeth.[2]

Biology and ecology

Based on its wing morphology, it likely has a rapid flight. Its flight speed could exceed Шаблон:Cvt.[3]

Range and habitat

Its range includes many countries in North, Central, and South America, including: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, Suriname, the United States, and Venezuela. It is possibly also found in Uruguay.[4] The individuals documented in Canada and the U.S. states of Iowa and Kansas are considered vagrants or extralimital records. However, the species occurs as a non-vagrant in the U.S. states of Texas, California, Nevada, and Utah.[3] It has been documented at a range of elevations from sea level to Шаблон:Cvt above sea level.[4]

Conservation

As of 2015, it is evaluated as a least-concern species by the IUCN, which is its lowest conservation priority.[4]
