I just wanted to share that tonight your faithful mod aka me will get to go to Bracken Cave and see millions of bats fly out of it for their nightly hunt. I am so excited and wanted to share the joy. I doubt I will get any decent pics because I will be enjoying the show, but here is a picture from their Instagram.

Squeeee!

      Roughly 10 million of them come to the cave to roost, then each one has a baby, doubling the number. It is indeed a lot of bats!

        Fuck me i wasn’t expecting that many 🫨

        How do they find room for that many bats?! The most I’ve ever seen at one time is what, maybe about 6 bats? Tops?
