Brown long-eared ear

Heat-loving flying acrobat. Huge, almost body-length ears, which are connected to a fold of skin over the forehead, and large, lively eyes characterize the face of the Brown Long-eared Bat (Plecotus sylvatica).
However, with their large ears and short, broad wings, which ensure flight stability, they are true flying artists: their hovering flight allows them to fly in one place and pick up prey from leaves and the ground. They can even fly backwards to collect prey.
The brown long-eared bat is a medium-sized bat species. Its prey includes moths and other invertebrates.
If they have caught a particular prey, long-eared bats have the habit of carrying it to a fixed place and eating it there. Below these places you will find the telltale traces of their remains: bitten-off butterfly wings and droppings.

Brown long-eared bats can also make their calls through their noses.
