On Creature Comforts, Kevin Farrell is joined by Dr. Troy Majure, veterinarian at the Animal Medical Center in Jackson and Libby Hartfield retired director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.

Navigating through the sky in the dark of night, bats are some of the more fascinating animals we can find here in Mississippi. They’ve inspired folklore in many cultures around the world, and though they may not be blood-sucking harbingers of death or benevolent beings of good fortune, they are vital to our ecosystem! Jack Creely from the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science joins to tell us all about them.
