Bracken Cave is the summer home of more than 15 million Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis), making it the worlds largest known bat colony and one of the largest concentrations of mammals on Earth. The emergence of these millions
of bats, as they spiral out of the cave at dusk for their nightly insect hunt, is an unforgettable sight.
Join us this season to witness this phenomenon! To book a member bat flight, you must be a current member of BCI.
