Bat Week Celebrates Important Mammals!

Bat Week, from October 24 to 31, is a global celebration of bats, which make up 20% of all mammals. Bats are found on every continent except Antarctica and play vital roles in our ecosystems, including controlling mosquito populations, pollinating plants, and dispersing seeds. Despite their importance, many people still don't know much about these fascinating creatures. This week encourages everyone to learn more about bats and their ecological contributions.
