For day seven of #BatWeek2023, I’d love to introduce (or re-introduce) you to a darling little bat! Let’s learn about the Mexican free-tailed bat’s biggest claims to fame- their speedy flight, their huge colonies, & their toe whiskers (that last one isn’t famous but it is cute).
A close up side profile of a Mexican free-tailed bat. The bat has light brown fur, large round ears and lay on top of the head and angle slightly forward, small black eyes, small nose with no nose leaf, and wrinkly upper lips. There are whiskers all around the nose and mouth. Photo credit: Jose G. Martinez-Fonseca

It’s day six of #BatWeek2023 and today is another crowd favorite- the Eastern red bat. There’s much more to this bat than just their extremely storng resemblance to a jelly donut, so let’s read on! 🧵
