The Bat Tornado 🦇

What happens

Every summer evening at Bracken Cave in Texas, millions of bats pour out of the cave and swirl up into the sunset like a tornado. The kids keep the ball up on the cactus-dotted hill while armadillos jump in surprise and a hawk circles overhead.

Fun facts

• Millions of bats live in Bracken Cave. It's the biggest bat colony in the world!
• Armadillos jump straight up in the air when they get a surprise!
• The bats eat tons of bugs every night, and that helps farmers.
