That's a pretty large bat, the gloves are essential! Where abouts was this, and what happened to the bat afterwards?
This was in Bloody Basin, Arizona. We caught it during the Arizona Wildlife Society's Techniques Workshop. It was a demonstration of mist nets. We identified it as a hoary bat using a dichotomous key and took some pictures then released it.
Ah brilliant, I recently learnt about hoary bats, they are particularly angry when they get caught! The workshop sounds really cool!
