General Info

Bird food type

Behavior

Tricolored bat is a nocturnal, insectivorous species. It uses echolocation to catch prey in mid-flight during foraging. It hibernates in winter, often in large aggregations. Tricolored bat is known for roost-switching and demonstrates social behavior by sharing maternity colonies. During warmer months, it displays territoriality, using crevices in tree bark, building eaves or bat houses as roosts.

Species Status

As of 2018, it is listed as a vulnerable species by the IUCN. In 2008, however, it was considered a least-concern species, which is the IUCN's lowest conservation priority. In the time between the two assessments, the fungal disease white-nose syndrome became widespread in eastern North After an emergency assessment, the tricolored bat is considered an endangered species under the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada as of 2012.
