Help us celebrate bat week by raising awareness of the important role they play in our ecosystems!
Some pollinate plants, others provide insect control, and they all inspire scientific discoveries!
Big brown bats are one of the many species of bats native to Wisconsin!
Big brown bats are small but mighty nocturnal mammals that can devour up to 5,000 insects in one night using their echolocation! Be sure to thank your local bats for keeping the insects away. If you have an insect problem, you can add bat boxes in your yard to encourage bats to your area.
Pictured is Atticus, our animal ambassador big brown bat, who has a permanent wing injury that prevents him from being able to fly well. You can view Atticus daily in our Critter Counter area at the Observation Building from 8am to 4:30pm!

Happy World Bat Week! A week to learn about our winged mammals and raise awareness about the importance of bats in our ecosystem and how we can help them. This is the time of year they are getting ready to hibernate or migrate-- and it's a great time for us to learn about how to live with these important co-inhabitants of our beautiful environment!
Did you know Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary has a colony of 8 amazing female straw-colored fruit bats on exhibit located in the Resch wing of our Observation Building?
We have fruit bats on exhibit as they were born in captivity and are quite easy to not only give a great home to, but also easy for public to see versus a colony of native Wisconsin bats.

A little more about our sorority:
Straw-colored fruit bats are large nocturnal megabats native to Africa! These nocturnal mammals do not use echolocation to catch insects, instead they rely on their large eyes and acute vision to navigate. They also play a vital role in dispersing seeds and pollinating trees across the tropical and sub-Saharan forests.
We hope you visit our colony of fruit bats soon! The Observation Building is open 8am to 4:30pm daily.

We recently released a broad-winged hawk that was admitted to the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary in the beginning of September after being found injured on the side of a road.

Thank you to all of our generous donors and supporters, who make releases like this one possible!
