Rush hour at the world's largest bat colony🦇🦇🦇 Millions of Mexican Free-tailed Bats emerge from Bracken Cave Preserve near San Antonio. Bats give birth in June, with pups starting to fly in early August. The colony consumes up to 140 tons of insects each night! Visitation is through Bat Conservation International | Texas Parks & Wildlife Magazine

We’re redefining what’s possible for bat conservation with cutting-edge tools and bold strategies. Nearly 200 species are at risk, and we’re leading the charge to ensure their survival and protect our ecosystems. | Bat Conservation International
