Tricolor Bat (Perimyotis subflavus)
A Tricolor Bat (Perimyotis subflavus) in the Ozarks of Oklahoma. Tricolor Bats have been hit hard by white nose syndrome 'WNS.' WNS is a fungal infection that hits certain species of bats and does damage when they are hibernating. The fungus makes them burn through their fat reserves faster than normal, resulting in the bat needing to wake up when it is still cold, and head out to feed with little food available at the time. Millions of bats have died owing to this fungus. These bats have created quite a legend in corners of the Ozarks it is thought by locals that their caves are full of 'white bats.' While I m sure that albinos and leucistic Tricolor Bats do exist, the majority of the 'white bats' are actually Tricolor Bats in torpor .they look silvery when looking up at them from the cave floor. Small drops of water have condensed on their fur, rendering the silver/white color. A small bat (only 2-4 inches in body length). This individual has a mite infection.
