Nananana Nananana, it’s Bat Week
By U.S. Department of the Interior
Bats are often misunderstood, but these heroes of the night are crucial to our planet. They provide essential pest control, pollinate our plants, and disperse seeds for new plants and trees.
Every year at the end of October, we celebrate Bat Week to highlight the role of bats in nature and all these little creatures do for us. Bats remain a frontier of wonder and discovery -- from understanding their longevity to inspiring medical marvels.
Discover what makes bats so amazing. Check out some of the bat species found in the U.S. and how scientists are working to protect them.
