Every day in the summer summer around dusk, I would look up above and see bats flying above my yard. I love bats, but so many people don’t. But bats are SO COOL!

In this episode I talk with my friend and bat biologist Lisa Gatens of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. She’s been studying bats for about 20 years. In this interview, she tells us some amazing bat facts as well as tips on how to live alongside and help out bats. 

Specifically we go over…

• Fun bat facts
• Bat moms are bad ass
• Tequila!
• Vampire bats
• Bat diversity
• Why bats are important
• What bats do for people
• How to attract bats to your yard
• Why do bats need our help?
• What should you do if you have a bat in your house
• Bats and disease
• Bats and COVID-19
• Bats are cute
• And MORE!

I’d love to meet you. Connect with me on social media:
