Description

Grand Canyon is an important refuge for its 22 bat species. While they are the only mammals capable of true flight, bats share the main characteristics as almost all other mammals: they have hair, give birth to live offspring, nurse their young, and can control their body temperature. Amazingly, a small bat can eat up to 5,000 insects per night! Take a "Minute Out In It" to experience the dance of the bats at Phantom Ranch deep in the inner canyon, a subtle yet beautiful prologue to the ballet of night.
