This Halloween many will decorate their homes, workspace, and schools with “spooky” images, to include bats. But the University of Florida has the real deal, and they’re letting you share in the observation. Monday, October 24th, UF began streaming 24 hour videos of their campus bat colony.
What is so special about bats at UF? UF has the world’s largest continuously occupied bat houses. Three bat-cams, located in and around the bat houses, feature zoom, tilt, and pan features, operated remotely by UF museum technicians. The footage can be viewed at www.flmnh.ufl.edu/bats.
