Today’s Bats Without Borders Webinar
Dr Teague O’Mara is today’s Bats Without Borders Webinar speaker. He will be talking about Connecting a Continent: tracking local and migratory movements of straw-coloured fruit bats.
This time of year, Kasanka National Park becomes the temporary home to millions of straw-coloured fruit bats. It is the world’s largest mammal migration! They begin to arrive just before the rains and the last bats fly out of the park around the New Year.
