At Carlsbad, we were able to go the fly out of the Bats in the Caves. We arrived at 6:30 and a ranger told us all about the bats and their habitat and thier importance in the society. Are you aware that bats are necessary to keep the insect population in control. We sat in a large area to wait for the bats to come out. When they first started coming out they were detected by radar and we waited for the big event. It was interesting because they came out in large groups, called families and would fly over the cave, our heads, and then off to get their food. It wasn't scarry at all. But is certainly was interesting! They are thousands of bats that come out each night.
