The hoary bat is the largest bat found in Canada, measuring almost 6 inches in total length, with a wingspread of 17 inches.... The hoary bat, like its smaller relative the red bat, is a solitary, tree-dwelling species.... The flight of the hoary bat is strong, swift(nine to thirteen miles an hour), and direct. The long, pointed wings also lend to the impression of a night-hawk in flight. 3, record 6, English, - hoary%20bat
