Bat Shelter

From the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Midwest Region:

Is it cold where you are? If you were an Indiana bat at Sodalis Nature Preserve in Missouri, you’d be waiting out winter by hibernating with about 160,000 of your closest friends. The cool, steady temperatures help bats survive until they emerge in April!
