🦇Bat Appreciation Week is concluding, but not before we take a look at bat science in action! 🦇 Ever wonder how scientists study bats without harming them? In the spring and summer, researchers use gentle harp traps at cave and mine entrances to safely catch bats as they head out to forage. One of the stars of the show? The Eastern Small-footed Myotis—Virginia’s tiniest bat! 🐾 Once caught, each bat is carefully examined for: ✔️ Species ✔️ Weight & size ✔️ Wing health ✔️ Gender & reproductive

Happy Bat Appreciation Day! The 1.5 million Brazilian free-tailed bats that live under our Congress Avenue Bridge make up the largest urban colony in the world and we couldn't be more greatful for them. Bats in Texas alone consume actual tons of crop and yard pests nightly; saving farmers millions of dollars annually and saving all of us from further pesticide poisoning and yard pests.

Bats are natural insect controllers; one bat can devour 1,000 mosquitoes/hour! They are also responsible for pollinating over 300 different fruits, including bananas, mangoes, and avocados! 🌙 #Bats #BatAppreciationWeek #BatFacts #NatureFacts #WildlifeWonders #BRZoo | BREC's Baton Rouge Zoo

Happy Bat Appreciation Week! Installing a bat box is a simple and effective way to help bats. It gives these amazing animals a safe place to roost and care for their young. Bats play a vital role in Oregon’s ecosystems. A single little brown bat can eat more than 1,200 mosquitos, or 50%–100% of their body weight, in a single night! That’s a lot less mosquitos that could bite you, your pets or livestock. As nature’s pest control, bats also benefit farming by decreasing crop damage that insects ca

They are permanent residents here as they both have broken shoulders, so they are educational ambassadors now. We also gave 12 Big Brown Bats, 4 Eastern Red Bats and 1 Silver Haired Bat that is in our “Bat Cave” that we built last year. They are in flight training and will be released soon!

Each movement of those “fingers” allows them to steer and glide with remarkable control, while their small claws help them grasp branches and hang comfortably upside down.
