We went to check out a spot that locals had told us bats gather at night. Turns out it was a hammer-headed bat lek!

Bat in nest with bird. It's in Australia.

What the hell is going on here? Was it brought there by bird parents to feed to babies? Did it move in? I've never heard of anything like this. Bat researchers... is this a thing? cc Give Bats A Break

I finally got around to drawing my study species, the Livingstone's flying fox! How adorable are these bats??

Cross your fingers that I get to go and do fielwork with them in a few weeks!!

Some days, when I'm feeling lousy and I ache all over, I just sit here in my office watching bat rescue videos.

Did you know 🐕 and 🦇 are friends?

Well. Sorta. More like dog people and bat people. How exactly? Well, that’s exactly what this episode is about!

But like... how bad are wind farms for bats, anyway? Why did I spend all summer finding dead bats on wind farms? Find out in our episode with Give Bats A Break!
