- By day, I hang out in a tree.
- At night, I use sound waves to “see.”
- In winter and summer, I flee.
- The color of my hair is the key.

Silver-Haired Bat
Silver-haired bats are named for the white-tipped hairs on their backs, which give them a frosty appearance. They’re most abundant in Missouri during their spring and fall migrations. At night, they hunt flying insects, using echoes from high-pitched squeaks to pinpoint prey. During the day, they sleep in trees. Although most live in forests north and south of Missouri, a few raise babies in northern Missouri, and a few spend winter here in hollow trees, rock crevices, and houses.
