There is a bunch of information in this guidebook that would be applicable to bats outside of Alberta - general concepts around bat biology and the threats that face bats.

You can find the guidebook here - www.albertabats.ca/wp-content/u...

A few bat species will take up space in buildings for summer roosts! We have some good advice on how to safely coexist with a colony on our website www.albertabats.ca/batsinbuildings It is rarer to find them there in winter - but that is highly dependent on your location & the bat species!

🦇Signs of white-nose syndrome in bats was first noted in upper New York State in 2006! So, the fungus was probably here a couple of years before that. www.whitenosesyndrome.org has tracked the spread. Estimates are that we have lost 10million+ bats since 2006.

We have a new video with updates coming out soon! And yes, it is good to have some good news!

It has been a big effort by a large number of people! We are thrilled that it is helping. We are now working with the biologists in AB and have applied it to two sites which we hope to follow next spring. The hope is we get funding to continue this work and actually mount a defense for western bats!

The best batman!

Indeed!

LOL! No apologies needed. The bat biologist world is well aware of the unique attributes of bats - especially when it comes to mating and reproduction. We could have an animated convo about male bats! Most species do have extraordinary penises and there is a whole paper about testicle sizes. 🍆🥜

Thank you to whoever just donated $25 bucks to the kid's fund! They will be thrilled that they reached their target! The donation page will be active for another week too for anyone who wants to contribute! Even $5 makes a difference!

THANKS! 😍 That's one of my favourite bat images! 🦇

Right? We don't think about bats grooming! But they are tidy wee things! Especially fun is when they "comb" their fur with their toes. #FastestFeetInTheWest

It really was!
