Bats of Indiana - Bats of Wyandotte
Big Brown Bat

The sound you hear is the echolocation sound of the Big Brown bat!
If you want to hear this sound again, click here to reload or refresh the page.
(It may take a few seconds, depending on the speed of your internet connection - it is worth the wait!)

Below is the graph created for this sound file.
It was given to us to use by Dr. Eric Britzke,
Environmental Science Specialist

We think this Big Brown bat is saying something like "Wow, that was a yummy mosquito!"

We wish to thank Dr. Clark McCreedy and the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources
for allowing us to use the Anabat call information for this website!

Dr. Clark McCreedy shows us an Anabat machine. This one was used to record bat calls
at Big Wyandotte Cave on the evening of October 18. 2006.
