🦇Here’s the truth: Alberta’s bats are working night shift every single day to keep our forests and crops healthy.
If they disappeared, we’d feel it fast - more pests, more damage, more pesticides.
Small animals. Big impact.

Bat fact: Bats eat their body weight in insects every night. That’s the equivalent of a 180-lb guy crushing 180 lbs of chicken wings before sunrise. Respect the efficiency.
