Need MUCH more information! Where: What country? Are they living in dark places, or in the open [e.g. roosting in trees]? What size: megabats[macrobats] are usually big, micro bats are usually small, [but there are exceptions].[There is a huge difference between the mega bats [fruit bats] and micro bats [carniverous], because some micro bats in the [northern hemisphere] have adapted to eat fruit/flowers.]Generally, megabats[fruit bats],[usually] have a head like a fox [that's often why they're called 'flying-foxes]; they roost in colonies in the open [trees]. When roosting, they fold their wings across their bodies. They have small ears and big eyes, using sight to find food].Generally, microbats [carniverous bats], have a flat [or squashed] face; they roost in dark places; their wings hang by their sides.

What do you call the place where bat live?
Well, bats in a group are called a colony. That colony may either roost for the day in a "roosting site" that is just temporary ( a hollow tree) if they are migrating, or they have found a "roosting site" or "maternity roost", (roof of an old barn) for the season. Many times a bat will return to the same roosting sites for years. Sometimes, when, or where the females gather to birth the young is called a "nursery colony or roost". If the bat doesn't migrate to a warmer climate for the winter, they may be forced to find a "hibernation site, or roost", (a cave) if the weather gets cold enough, and the food sources are affected. People can supply roosting sites for bats by putting up bat houses, very similar to bird houses, so that is another place that bats can call home. For more details, please see sites listed below.
Why is the Townsend Big Eared Bat endangered?
