Rafinesque's big-eared bat
Rafinesque's big-eared bat (''Corynorhinus rafinesquii''), sometimes known as the southeastern big-eared bat, is a species of vesper bat native to the southeastern United States.
==Description==
As its name implies, this species has large ears that are over an inch long. The genus name ''Corynorhinus'' means "club-nosed." Similar to the Townsend's big-eared bat, this species has two lumps on either side of its nose. Rafinesque's big eared bat is a medium sized bat with a length of about 7.5-10cm (3-4 inches) and a wingspan of 25-30cm (10-12 inches). These bats range in mass from 6-13g (0.2-0.45 ounce).〔''(Animal Diversity Web )'', Reyes, E. (2002) Corynorhinus rafinesquii〕 The bat is gray on the dorsal side and white on the underside. The ears and face are a pinkish-brown color while the forearm and wing membrane is dark brown.
Some sources report maximum lifespan as 10 years,〔''(Mammalian Species )'', Jones, C. (1977). No. 69, pp. 1-4 Plecotus rafinesquii〕 although robust data are lacking. More research has been done on the closely related Townsend's big-eared bat and estimates for this species' lifespan range from 16 up to 30 years in the wild.〔''(Channel Islands National Park - Townsend's Big-eared Bats )'', U.S. National Park Service.〕
While uncommon throughout its range, this species is found in a variety of habitats from coastal plains, riparian areas, to mountainous areas like the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In all cases, these bats are associated with large swathes of relatively mature forest.
