Magnet Bat- Navy Blue Fabric 44mm
This magnet shows the white silhouette of a Brown Long-Eared Bat (Plecotus auritus) against dark blue fabric. A middle-sized bat by European standards, this bat lives in most parts of Eurasia. Diameter is 44mm (1.73").
Fun fact: The brown long-eared bat usually finds prey using its excellent hearing rather than echolocation. It feeds mostly on moths, and because some moth species have evolved the ability to detect bat echolocation calls and evade capture, this bat has adapted other hunting strategies.
Mammals are warm-blooded vertebrates distinguished by features such as hair or fur, mammary glands, and a neocortex in the brain. Examples include humans, dogs, whales, and bats. Most mammals give birth to live young, and females typically nurse their offspring with milk produced by mammary glands. Mammals exhibit a wide range of adaptations, from the specialized limbs of bats for flight to the streamlined bodies of dolphins for aquatic life. With diverse habitats, mammals play vital roles in ecosystems, functioning as predators, herbivores, and contributing to ecological balance. The ability to regulate internal body temperature and the presence of hair or fur are key characteristics that define this class of animals.
