During the summer months, a 'batnado' of roughly 20 million Mexican free-tailed bats emerges from Bracken Bat Cave - and you can see it in person! 🦇
Bracken Bat Cave“This vortex, a swirling ‘batnado,’ will start rising out of the sinkhole, and once they get up to the tree-top levels, they’ll start streaming away from the cave. They stay tight, like a river of bats, because of predators in the area,” Bracken Cave director Fran Hutchins previously told KSAT.
All proceeds go towards bat conservation and helping bats survive the most pressing threats, like habitat loss, starvation, and disease. White-nose syndrome has become a concern for Texas bats. WNS is a deadly fungus that has killed millions of bats in North America and Canada, with some states seeing a 90% decrease in their bat populations.
Hutchins said the colony at Bracken Cave eats somewhere in the neighborhood of 140-147 tons of insects when they go out to feed every night.
