What’s the first thing you think when you see a bat?🦇👇

Bats may look frightening but they are are important to our ecosystem as pollinators and actually fascinating once you get to know them. 

🌎Tap into our Instagram Story to be taken on a virtual field trip to El Salitre Bat Cave in Mexico on an expedition led by Dr. Edgard Mason (___edgardito___) and his team of scientists. They are on a mission to shine a light (literally) on bats and educate people on why they need our protection more than we need to be protected from them. 

This research is made possible by the_explorers_club Discovery Expedition Grant.🔎
