The brown long-eared bat or common long-eared bat (Plecotus auritus) is a small European bat. It has distinctive ears, long and with a distinctive fold. They are relatively slow flyers compared to other bat species. Adult brown long-eared bats' ears are long enough to be readily distinguished from most other bat species.
