Mexican Long-Nose Bat

- In January 2025, scientists officially confirmed the presence of the endangered Mexican Long-Nosed Bat (Leptonycteris Nivalis) in southern Arizona for the first time ... this discovery expanded the known range of the species, which was previously thought to only summer in Texas and New Mexico
- It is the only bat species in Arizona currently listed as federally endangered ... while similar to the Lesser Long-Nosed Bat (which was delisted in 2018), this species is slightly larger and prefers higher elevations (typically 4,900 to 7,500 feet) and pine-oak woodlands
- Has a wingspan of approximately 14 to 15 inches (35 to 38 cm)
