National Museum of Natural History: American Mammals: Yuma Myotis

Curated by ACT

The skull and jaws of the Yuma myotis suggest a dependence on relatively soft insects, and the little dietary information available supports this. It fits well with the bat's habit of foraging over water, where moths and other soft-bodied insects tend to be common. Learn more about the Myotis yumanensis, more commonly known as a Yuma Myotis, in this easy-to-read species overview by the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
