Celebrate Bat Appreciation Day: Appreciate these amazing creatures and their vital role in our environment!
Bat [Appreciation] Day 13
Bat Day, also known as, International Bat Appreciation Day, takes place every April 17th. Bat Day serves as a reminder of the vital roles that bats play in our daily lives. It is possible that without Bats, life as we know it would not exist.
April is also the best month to see bats because they are just coming out of hibernation. The Bat Day celebration is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the role of bats in the natural world.

Bat Day Quotes
Can you guess the book?
“Nutritional physiologist Claudia Coen reported that whenever she removed and returned a member of her captive colony of white-winged vampires (Diaemus youngi) to their cage, “They would greet each other, both vocally and through a ritual of pressing their noses into each other’s armpits and wrapping their wing membranes tight around in a ‘hug’ of welcome.” They were shy of strangers but greeted her as one of their own. She said, “They’ll nuzzle their noses between my fingers in greeting. They’re enchanting!” Coen also reported that her bats liked to cuddle, and they played with exuberance.”
