The Indiana Bat (Myotis Sodalis) has grayish-chestnut fur with pink lips and nose, and pinkish to
cinnamon colored under parts. It grows to approximately three inches long. The bats mate in the
autumn but the female becomes pregnant after winter hibernation when the sperm stored from
the autumn mating fertilizes an egg. The pregnant females then migrate to trees that serve as
maternity colonies over the summer season, where there can be hundreds of mothers and their
young living in the maternity roost trees.
