This is one of the most exciting weeks of the year. The leaves are changing colors, the weather is getting cooler, pumpkins and mums are decorating the front porch and we get to go batty at George Washington Carver National Monument.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na… #BATWEEK!
Millions of bats live in national parks. In fact, more than 45 unique species of bats live in national parks! They pollinate, eat insects, use echolocation, and fascinate visitors. Some migrate, and some hibernate. Each species is unique, except that they’re all facing threats of some type in their environments.
