Bat Chat at Cerrillos Hills

Bat Chat at Cerrillos Hills

Bats comprise nearly one quarter of the world's total mammal population. The only mammal that flies, these creatures have more in common with us than the mice they resemble. 

Join Cerrillos Hills State Park for this presentation and learn about bats, explore benefits, and dispel myths associated with these amazing animals.

Life would be very different without bats.
