Mexican Free-Tailed Bats, Texas
Photograph by Joel Sartore, National Geographic
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Migration Photos
Mexican free-tailed bats spiral out of Eckert James River Bat Cave Preserve in Texas at dusk. The bats are hungry for pests like corn earworm moths—nutrition to keep milk flowing for their pups. Every spring millions of free-tails return to this cave.
