Here are Batty and Ty-Dye Batty,
both Beanie Babies made by Ty Inc. And behind them is Black
Batty the Beanie Buddy.
This little bat is new from Hansa
Plush and you can find it in our Gift
Shop.
The Little Brown Bat (Myotis Lucifugus)
is possibly the most abundant 
bat
in North America. These mammals are common in and around cities.
On sumer days thousands may hang upside down in an attic or loft.
These sleeping groups are composed solely of females and young,
for Little Brown Bats, like many other species, separate by sex
before the young are born. Males also roost during the day but
usually as solitary individuals.
Little Brown Bats are about 3 to 4-1/2
inches long with a wingspan of from 8 to 10 inches.
I remember staying at my grandparents cabin
on the East Coast every summer as a child. The cabin had shutters
and a male Little Brown Bat could always be found sleeping there
during the day. Then as the day waned, the little guy would take
off and fly through the farmland catching insects.
Other bats living at Jeannie's
Cottage are Radar the Ty Beanie Baby (left)
and Beanie Buddy (right).
