Hawaiian hoary bat
The Hawaiian hoary bat or ''ōpeapea'' (''Lasiurus semotus'') is an endangered species of hairy-tailed bat (family Vespertilionidae) that is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Until 2015, they were considered a subspecies of the hoary bat, the most widespread bat in the continental United States.〔Shump, K. A. and A. U. Shump. (1982). (''Lasiurus cinereus''. ) ''Mammalian Species'' 185, 1-5.〕 However, recent molecular research has shown that they form a distinct species. Since the continental hoary bat is also found on the islands, the Hawaiian hoary bat is now one of just three species of mammal that is endemic to the islands, the other being the Hawaiian monk seal.〔 It is a federally listed endangered taxon of the United States.

The common name of the hoary bat was inspired by the hoary or "frosty" appearance of its fur, which is brown but frosted white on its back. The Hawaiian name, ''ōpeapea'' ("half-leaf"), refers to the outline of the bat's body, which is shaped like half a taro leaf.〔Frasher, H. R., et al. (2007). (Hawaiian hoary bat inventory in national parks on the islands of Hawaii, Maui and Molokai. ) Technical Report 140. Pacific Coopertive Studies Unit. University of Hawaii at Mānoa.〕 The Hawaiian hoary bat weighs . The female is larger than the male, with a wingspan of approximately . It is a nocturnal insectivore.〔(''Lasirus cinereus semotus''. ) Endangered Species in the Pacific Islands. USFWS Pacific. 2012.〕 Relatively little is known about the life history of the species.
