🦇 Wrapping up Bat Appreciation Month! 🌍💚Did you know there are over 1,400 species of bats worldwide? Each one plays a crucial ecological role in our lives. From pollination and seed dispersal to insect control, bats are essential for a healthy ecosystem. Even vampire bats contribute to human medicine! As the only flying mammals, they’re not only fascinating but also incredibly beautiful. However, many bat species are facing serious threats, and it’s up to us to help protect them.Thank you for joining us in celebrating these amazing creatures! 🦇✨ Want to learn more? Come visit the bats up close in the Rainforest Pyramid, and check out www.batcon.org for more info. Let’s protect and appreciate our flying friends!

The incredible ice carving team from China has begun crafting ICE LAND: Pole-to-Pole! 🧊🐧 Want to see their progress? Tune into our ICE LAND webcam on our website or here to watch live: https://www.moodygardens.com/media-center/icelandwebcam

Continuing our Bat Appreciation Month celebration, let’s shine a light on another incredible species you can find in our bat habitat: the Lesser Long-nosed bat! 🦇✨These tiny but mighty bats are native to the desert scrub habitats of Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, and all the way down to Central America. As part of the leaf-nosed family, their unique noses help them detect the scent of blooming cacti flowers, making them crucial night pollinators. 🌵🌙 Lesser Long-nosed bats are the primary pollinators of night-blooming saguaro and organ pipe cacti. With tongues as long as their bodies, they sip nectar while collecting pollen to carry to the next cactus. Their role in the ecosystem is vital, ensuring these beautiful plants continue to thrive!Come visit the Lesser Long-nosed bats in the Rainforest Pyramid! Discover the amazing contributions of these creatures to our world! 💚

From the rainforest to the reef, let’s celebrate all the amazing animals that make our planet special! 🐠🦜 #WorldAnimalDay
