The Red Bat
The image on the U-Haul truck, representing the state of Missouri, has been created to help people learn about the complex communication systems used by bats, which reveal their dependence on echolocation and features the red bat, (Lasiurus borealis). While all microbats echolocate, the red bat's reputation is that of the cutest, friendliest-looking bat, which is why its species is a good fit in representing the Missouri SuperGraphic, and also because some red bats call the trees in and around Onondaga Cave State Park in Leesburg, Missouri, home.
