The District of Columbia could get a 'state' mammal - and it's a bat

A small, brown endangered bat may be poised to become Washington D.C.'s "state" mammal. And they have three local Girl Scout troops to thank. This "mouse-eared microbat with two sets of teeth," as described by WTOP-TV, noshes on mosquitoes, flies, beetles and moths - up to 1,200 of them a night - at wetlands edges, for instance along the Anacostia and Potomac rivers.
