🦇Here’s the truth: Alberta’s bats are working night shift every single day to keep our forests and crops healthy.
If they disappeared, we’d feel it fast - more pests, more damage, more pesticides.
Small animals. Big impact.

Flappy #Flyday!
We sometimes refer to them as #SkyPuppies but #Dragons is a good description too. So far...no species has been found to breather fire! 🦇🐉
There are now 1500 scientifically described species of bat. Each species is unique in its ecological requirements and the role they play in ecosystems.

Don't buy 'curiosities' made of dead bats!
Online stores including Amazon and Google shop are still openly selling these items, a year after we highlighted the problem. Trade in Endangered species needs to stop. #wildlife #bats #nature 🌍

What song would you sing to attract a mate?
🦇Male bats in Alberta aren’t belting out love songs - but some species do produce complex ultrasonic calls that might be part of their mating strategy.
Bat dating is all about performance: up to 40 kHz of “check out my skills.” (see comments for audio!)
