🖤 Bracken Cave appreciation post 🖤 Located just 20 miles outside of San Antonio, TX, Bracken Cave is home to the largest bat colony in the world — home to over 20 million Mexican free-tailed bats. Bracken Cave is a maternity roost, meaning expectant female bats return to roost in Bracken in the spring, after overwintering in South and Central America, to birth their singular bat pup. Witnessing the emergence in person is an unforgettable sight. #battok #bats

Head southwest from the town of Mason, Texas and you’ll find the Eckert James River Bat Cave -- one of the biggest bat nurseries in the country. Some 4 million female bats arrive here to roost from May through September. Most of these are pregnant when they arrive. In the cave females give birth to a single pup in June or July; the young grow quickly and are able to fly at about five weeks, but stay with their mothers until the return to Mexico in October.
