All the bats I have seen before were dark brown to blackish and very fine hair. What is this guy? Now deceased and cremated......jk Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free.

Did not think to look at the photo to see how it turned out. Never saw a bat that looked like that before.....jk Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free.

I would be suspicious of a bat that turned up dead this time of year. http://www.sniperstrappingplace.com/tmansearch.php

Our DNR website says I should've opened the window and shut the door and let him find his way out on his own. I ushered him out... differently. Looked just like that one.
