VOLUME 15, 2023 Annual Report
A few of the non-releasable Mexican free-tail bats
in their miniature cave at Bat World Sanctuary.
These bats are a crevice-dwelling species and like to
snuggle in tight clusters for warmth and security. In
fact, 200 free-tails will fit in one square foot on a
cave wall!
