The Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus semotus),[4][5] also known as ʻōpeʻapeʻa, is a species of bat endemic to the islands of Hawaiʻi.[6][7] The Hawaiian hoary bat occupies the major Hawaiian islands, making it the only extant and native terrestrial mammal in the islands. Some studies report that the mainland hoary bat lives in sympatry on the Hawaiian Islands alongside the Hawaiian hoary bat, although this is disputed.[6][8] The Hawaiian hoary bat was officially named the state land mammal of Hawaiʻi in 2015.[6] It is a federally listed endangered taxon of the United States.[2]
The Hawaiian hoary bat is listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act.[9] The Hawaiian hoary bat faces threats including habitat loss, collisions with man-made structures such as wind turbines and barbed wire, pesticide impacts on primary food sources, predation and competition with invasive species, roost disturbance, and tree cover reduction.
