Pallid bats are mammals found in North and Central America.
Pallid bats measure 5-8 centimeters (2-3 inches) long. They have yellow and white fur and large ears. They rest in overhanging cliffs or in rock crevices.
At night, they hunt for food. Their large ears help them hear the crickets, beetles, grasshoppers, and scorpions they eat.
