Gray bat (Myotis grisescens)
Endangered*​

Gray bats are cave-dwelling bats and require specific suitable cave conditions in order to survive. Furthermore, they migrate to different caves throughout the year depending on the season.

They live exclusively in caves in North Florida counties, with Jackson County having the only sizeable colonies on record.

​Their endangered status is due to their narrow criteria for cave roosts and the limited availability of caves that qualify their specifications.​
