Ellison 2004 <p>Eighteen of the 124 species of mammals inhabiting Colorado are bats. The unique life history characteristics of bats prevent many people from realizing that they comprise 15 percent of our native mammal fauna. Being fast fliers that are active at night, bats are mostly elusive to human senses except in the early evening hours when they can be seen foraging or when they are seen in their roosting habitat. In addition bats often roost in hard-to-reach, well-hidden places making human encounters with bats rare.</p><p><br data-mce-bogus="1"></p> application/pdf en Colorado Committee of the Western Bat Working Group Colorado bat conservation plan reports
