Where does this bat come from?
Myotis Californicus, also known as the California bat, is found in the western region of North America, from southern Alaska to Guatemala. It is one of the most common bat species that lives in the desert scrublands and it is also found in oak and bull pine forests.
In its geographical area, it looks for shelter in loose barks and cracks of old trees that are also decomposing. In addition, it creates small maternity colonies in cliffs, buildings, and bridges. Its presence in Parque Morelos contributes to the diversity of fauna in Tijuana's most important natural area.
