For the Love of Bats

Description

Nine species of bats live within and around Jewel Cave National Monument. Although most visitors never see any bats while exploring the area, during the off-season the historic entrance is home to one of the largest hibernating bat colonies in the Great Plains. These flying mammals are an important part of the Black Hills ecosystem.
