What animal is best at hitting a baseball? A bat of course! 

This week, Oct. 24 - Oct. 31, take time to celebrate our mammal friends for #BatWeek 2022. 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

This annual event raises awareness about the need for bat conservation. #DidYouKnow:
-Bats play an essential role in pest control, pollinating plants, and dispersing seeds. 
-Over 300 species of fruit depend on bats for pollination. 
-Bats help spread seeds for nuts, figs, and cacao — the main ingredient in chocolate!
