Peale's free-tailed bat

Mammals

Peale's free-tailed bat (Nyctinomops aurispinosus) is a bat species from South and Central America, according to English Wikipedia, which gives no finer range than those two regions. The GBIF taxonomic backbone accepts the name, places it in the family Molossidae and credits the description to Peale, 1848, with the authority in parentheses to show that the species was first described in a different genus before it was moved into Nyctinomops. The GBIF record of the IUCN Red List category lists it as Least Concern, the lowest level of concern on the IUCN scale. The sources read do not name the countries where it occurs or describe its diet, roosting habits or numbers, so this entry states only its classification, broad range and conservation category.
