The Misunderstood Bat

October 24 - 31 is National Bat Week!

Halloween is strongly associated with bats, so much so that Oct 24-31 is national Bat Week! At Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, you can join us to learn about these amazing mammals and the adaptations and the benefits they provide. Park superintendent Tom Forwood shares how to tell the bat myths from the bat facts and you will discover that truth really can be stranger (and much cooler!) than fiction.
