The grey long-eared bat (Plecotus austriacus) is a fairly large European bat. It has distinctive ears, long and with a distinctive fold. It hunts above woodland, often by day, and mostly for moths. In captivity, it has also been recorded to eat small lizards.[2] It is extremely similar to the more common brown long-eared bat, and was only distinguished in the 1960s, but has a paler belly.
