The world's fastest known animal is a bat.
Peregrine falcons utilize gravity, but only flap at 60 mph, while a Brazilian free-tailed bat clocked in at speeds of 100 mph using wing power alone! 🤯

A number of the preserves are popular roosting spots for bats, particularly those close to water. While you can't see them at night when they come out to play — because the preserves close at sunset — they often can be seen during the day hanging from above. #BatWeek
