Bat emergence at Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Like clockwork, millions of Mexican free tailed bats head out to decimate thousands of pounds of crop pest insects.

  • Something from "Die Fledermaus" would have been much more appropriate than "Ride of the Valkyries."

  • i love it was just there 2 days ago magnificent place to see

  • Lots of bats ,bats kind of scare me but I think I want an albino one

  • @nighthawk2511 Correction " Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner

  • @nighthawk2511 "Flight of the Valkyries" by Richard Wagner. Also used in Apocalypse Now

  • Feedback: I took my father in a wheelchair so he was at the top of the amphitheater. He is hard of hearing - as were several older people in the audience. When she put her microphone on her lapel, it stopped picking up her voice so I called out that we couldn't here at the top because I knew they couldn't. She replied "Yes you can - just not through the speakers." My father & the other seniors (and even my sister) heard nothing of the presentation for the entire half hour. I was furious.

  • i live in carlsbad and every year some of my family comes down and i take them to it.... it was fun for the first 3 years..... but 7 years later it gets old.... but still cool though

  • I went to see this once. One of my favorite parts of the country. We were staying in El Paso, but we still waited til the end of the bat flight to leave. I used to go into this cave near my home in PA where you had to crawl on your belly, in one section for quite a ways, and when you got to the end, you would find Little Brown Bats hibernating. I could never figure out how they found their way back there. Now, the cave is closed in winter to leave the bats undisturbed. It was awesome.

    His head is too hard.  Product of inbreeding. The bullet would ricochet.
