Filed Under Green Earth | no responses

Many people do not like or understand bats, but they play an important role in our eco-system. They help reduce the mosquito population, pollinate plants, and they’re prey for other animals.
Bats have been dying in record numbers, and scientists say their is an epidemic of White Nose Syndrome. Find out more on this video.
