N. The conservation status of a Species is an indicator of the likelihood of that species remaining extant either in the present day or the near future Least Concern ( LC) is an IUCN category assigned to extant species or lower taxa which have been evaluated but do not qualify for any other category Chordates ( Phylum Chordata) are a group of Animals that includes the Vertebrates together with several closely related Invertebrates Mammals ( class Mammalia) are a class of Vertebrate Animals characterized by the presence of Sweat glands, including sweat glands Evening bats or perhaps more correctly Vesper bats (family Vespertilionidae) are the largest and best-known family of Bats They belong to the suborder The bat genus Nyctalus (Noctule bats are members of the family Vespertilionidae ( Vesper bats or sometimes Evening bats. noctula

The Common Noctule (Nyctalus noctula) is a species of bat common throughout Europe, Asia, and North Africa. North Africa or Northern Africa is the Northernmost Region of the African Continent, separated by the Sahara from Sub-Saharan
Echolocation
The Noctule uses two main call types for echolocation. The frequency parameters of the first call type lie between 26-47 kHz, have most energy at 27 kHz and have an average duration of 11. 5 ms. [2] The frequency parameters of the second call type lie between 22-33 kHz, have most energy at 22 kHz and have an average duration of 13. 8 ms. [2][3]
