Millions of bats form a swirling “bat tornado” as they emerge from Cueva de El Volcán de los Murciélagos in Campeche, Mexico.Known as “Bat Volcano,” the site is home to a huge multi-species colony. At dusk, millions of bats stream from the cave and spread into the surrounding forest to feed.The spectacular emergence can continue for more than a hour, creating a living vortex above the cave.The colony includes several bat species, most of them insect-eaters. Their nightly feeding helps regulate insect populations in the surrounding ecosystem.Did you know? 🎓
