Caught 'napping': First direct evidence of migratory hoary bats hibernating Posted: 25 Oct 2016 07:03 PM PDT Perched among the branches and needles of California's redwood forests are nestled wayfaring hoary bats (Lasiurus cinereus). A migratory species capable of traveling hundreds of miles, hoary bats may wander throughout western North America before settling into California's north coast ... to sleep.
