The Bat Colony on Fite road is home to a colony of Mexican Free-tailed bats. Over ten thousand of them. They are known to roost in few places, but with huge numbers. While bats are an important part of our ecosystem (controlling insects and what-not) , and are usually not aggressive, a certain level of caution must be maintained. There are three things to watch out for that I have foundnn1)tBats can have rabies, symptoms may include.na.tOdd behavior separate from the rest of the colonynb.tOut in the daylightnc.tNot flying or not flying properlynd.tThere also may be no symptoms, caution is a must. If you come in close contact with a bat and even had a slight chance of being bitten or scratched, you should seek medical attention immediately.nn2)tBat Guano (Feces) contains a fungus that can become airborne called Histoplasmosis (also affiliated with bird droppings) Most cases of exposure do not result in infection, however those with immune system conditions are more susceptible. Free tailed bats specifically are called “guano bats” because of the large amount of droppings they can produce.nn3)tIf there is a bug in your face, there is a possibility that the bat would really enjoy that bug in their face.nnAlso I don’t understand the point of being able to rate something like this, that being said, Five Stars.
Awesome.
