Happy Bat Month!
Happy Bat Month! This Bat Month the focus has been on a common North American species, and personal favourite, the little brown bat (Scientific name: Myotis lucifugus). This an illustration I made featuring the Little Brown Bat and I thought some people might enjoy having a version they can print off and colour.
Don’t forget to check out my Bat Week/Month YouTube playlist on my channel for a whole bunch of fun, bat-themed content!
Printable
Find the printable PDF below! For those curious, the illustration was made using Procreate. The reference image was taken by Ann Froschauer/USFWS. The little guy/gal looks utterly affronted by concept of being handled by a biologist, and it’s adorable 🙂

Note
I probably don’t have to say this but just to be clear: DO NOT HANDLE BATS/WILDLIFE. Those shown in the videos are trained professionals. Handling wildlife has the potential to harm both the animal and the person.
