Very cool. I didn't think one would see so many bats in the daytime.

@flowerchild1951 - The bats began streaming out of the cave as the sun began to set, but it takes hours for them all to leave. It was quite dark by the time they had all flown out to find something yummy to eat, like their favorite insects! A few of the bats get eaten each night too, as the bats are not the only predators out searching for a good meal each evening.

Thanks! I really like that people are finding this video through Google maps!

This is an interesting, fun, insightful, nature study (bats, snakes and humans)! Youve shown so much of the experience of the bat cave in such short film! Makes me smile!
