Keen's Myotis is a large-eared, forest-associated bat of the Pacific Coast from southeastern Alaska to Washington State. Very little is known about this species, as it roosts in tree snags and rock crevices in dense, old-growth coastal forests that are difficult to survey. It may be the bat species with the most restricted range in North America, confined largely to the Alexander Archipelago of Alaska.
