BATS!

Bats are one of the most important animals on earth, but the adage "out of sight, out of mind," often applies to these incredible creatures of flight. Embrace the wonders of bats as we put you face to face with these winged mammals to illustrate their beauty, but also their tragedy. Alongside a team of scientists, we investigate a mysterious fungus that endangers the population of bats in hopes of discovering how it acts and how to stop it.
