- On our travels for ‘After the Storm,’ our team learned about a nightly event that has become a seasonal staple in Austin, Texas. Millions of bats have made a home in the crevices beneath the Congress Avenue Bridge, and each evening, hundreds of people gather to watch them emerge in search of dinner.

Bats aren't scary. Bats are one of our greatest allies in nature. If it weren't for bats, we'd be literally overrun with insects everywhere. Life would be miserable if it weren't for bats.
Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert brought me here. I can't believe this. At all.
Ya same, I had to see if it was true... thats alot of bats in texas. Why hasn't texas had any coronavirus outbreaks?
Crazy. I was in Austin last sept just for a day. I read about this in the hotel directory and was curious why I had never heard of it before. I got in too late to see it and left too early the next day. Next time I’m going to make the time.
I have ALWAYS loved Bats! Nature's exterminators!! Thanks to ALL who appreciate them!👍🦇🥰
They eat 30,000 pounds of insects a day....180,000 mosquitoes equal a pound. THATS 5 BILLION 500 MILLION BLOOD SUCKERS OFF OF THE STREETS -A DAY! Go Bats👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Without bats humans would suffocate
Great story on Austin's greatest treasure and tourist attraction!!!
They each have a personality
I love watching Dateline
What they don't tell you is that they don't always come out. It also is only for a certain season but even in the middle smack dab of their most active during the season there are nights where they just don't come out and people are still let down
Joe Rogan brought us here. 🦇🦇
