動物蝙蝠地點美國
IT’S HARD OUT
there for a bat. They don’t get a lot of good press, despite being important pollinators of flowers and fruits. Let’s help change that: from 26 October-1 November, it’s Bat Week in the US. The best way to appreciate them is to see them. In San Francisco, you could go down to Golden Gate Park’s Stow Lake around sunset and and see them out for an early dinner. Or, for something more dramatic, visit Bracken Cave, outside San Antonio, Texas, where 20 million Mexican free-tailed bats (the world’s largest bat colony) swoop out at dusk. nps.gov/bats 身為蝙蝠並非一件易。然們為事 雖 牠 是 花果播傳 花粉的重要媒介,可是大眾對牠們的口碑並不好。就讓我們幫蝙蝠一個忙,令大眾改變對們牠 的偏見吧。月由10 26日至11月1日是美國的蝙蝠周,對牠們表示欣賞的最佳方式,就是去探望牠們。在三藩市,你可以在日落時分到金門公園的史托湖畔,看牠們成群結隊出來吃晚餐。如果想看更壯觀的場面不, 妨到德州聖安東尼奧市外的Bracken Cave山洞裡(那 是全球最大的蝙蝠聚居地) ,於暮色中觀看2,000萬隻皺鼻蝠衝出山洞覓食的情。景nps.gov/bats
