Bats are beautiful creatures, but they are often misunderstood. Many people are scared of bats because they associate them with vampires. The main reason for this is that they rest during the day and come out at night. Bats are rarely dangerous unless they are carrying a disease, but they are the leading cause of rabies in the US today. Even so, there are only a few cases of rabies each year, and they are seldom deadly.
Casey Anderson hosts National Geographic Channel's America the Wild. On this show, Anderson goes to the front lines of the bat invasion. On one episode, he heads to Bracken Cave in Texas. There, when dusk turns to dark, an estimated 20 million bats fly out of the cave and into the night sky. While it is a bit scary because there are so many bats, Anderson never feels like he is in danger. Instead, he is in awe of the sight of all the bats going out for dinner, even when they accidentally get caught in his shirt. Check out Anderson's bat adventure and much more with America the Wild this month.
