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.

Mississippi is home to many flying creatures, and although we love talking about our birds, today we want to discuss a flying mammal: bats. Alison McCartney, a wildlife biologist, joins us today to tell us all about Mississippi’s bats, how important they are to our ecosystem, and whether or not you should be concerned when you come in contact with one.
