300,000 Bat Ballet: Nightly flight on the bayou
Houston, Texas is home to a lot of hidden gems, but you would not expect the Waugh St. Bridge to be home to more than 300,000 bats. The bat colony living under the bridge has become a spectacle over the years, with crowds gathering every night to watch their flight for food. The bats eat as much as 6,000 pounds of insects every night! If you would like to learn more about the bats, or check them out in person, visit www.buffalobayou.org/waugh-bridge-bat-colony-q-and-a/.
