EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a Short-eared Bat (Vespertilio murinus), also known as the Bewick's Bat, a fascinating mammal belonging to the Vespertilionidae family. Distinguished from its long-eared bat counterpart by its shorter ears, the Short-eared Bat is approximately twice the size, with an average length of 8.5 centimeters and a wingspan of up to 25 centimeters. The Short-eared Bat, named after the English naturalist Thomas Bewick, has historically been of great interest to scientists and naturalists due to its unique features. Its ears, though shorter than the long-eared bat's, are still highly sensitive and play a crucial role in echolocation, allowing the bat to navigate and locate prey in complete darkness. The Short-eared Bat is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and can be found in a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and mountains. They are insectivores, feeding primarily on moths, beetles, and flies. This photograph, taken in the late 1800s, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the natural world of the Short-eared Bat during a time when photography was a relatively new technology. The image captures the intricate details of the bat's fur, wings, and ears, offering a close-up view of this elusive creature that continues to fascinate and inspire researchers and nature enthusiasts alike. The Short-eared Bat's history is rich and varied, with records dating back to the late 1700s. Today, they continue to be studied for their unique adaptations and contributions to the ecosystem, making them an important subject of ongoing research and conservation efforts.
