Bats
These fascinating animals are the earth's only flying mammals and are essential to the health of the planet’s ecosystems.
Bats face a number of conservation challenges, including habitat loss, disease and human disturbance.
The Cleveland Zoological Society and Cleveland Metroparks Zoo support bat research and conservation efforts worldwide to help address these issues.
