Comment: Danehy (1952) reports that this bat is found in cracks in caves, but uncommonly. Primarily a desert species, it 
inhabits a variety of habitats from rocky canyons, cliffs, and outcroppings, to creosote bush flats; day roosts usually in rock 
crevices, mines, or buildings; hibernates in mines, caves, and rock crevices.
