Bats are great! What's not great is White Nose Syndrome :((
(https://www.whitenosesyndrome.org)
On a more positive note, I've been down to Austin, TX to see the bats living under one of the major bridges all take flight at once! It's amazing :D

I feel really bad about their whitenose syndrome though. I love them, but we need to preserve them longer.

They are so cute!

I don't know why some people are scared of them. They're cute, small and have pretty silhouettes and it's really fun watching them fly around.

I wouldn't want a wild one nesting in my house, they're really messy, but they are so cute.
