Brown bat (collared bat)
A general term for mammals belonging to the genus Eptesicus in the family Vespertilionidae of the order Chiroptera.

They are found in Eurasia, Africa, Australia, Alaska, and Argentina, and there are about 35 species, with body lengths ranging from 3.5 to 7.5 cm and forearm lengths ranging from 2.8 to 5.5 cm.
