The tricolored bat is one of the smallest bats in North America. It has short fur with three shades that help it hide among leaves and stones.
The tricolored bat differs from other small bats by its tricolored fur and choice of wintering sites. It is beneficial for nature because it destroys many harmful insects and serves as an indicator of environmental purity.
