Austin Texas Mexican Free-tailed bats

That’s simply amazing! I’ve only ever seen a bat or two here and there, never a group that big. Lovely to see basic biology at work.

The bats are the one thing I have missed doing every time I go visit Cartman. Next time, I am going to insist on doing it.

Love the music! Good grief they must generate a lot of um guano? Still, it’s a fun video.
