Massive Bat Colony Shows Up On Weather Radar
A colony of bats in Arizona created a cloud so big it showed up on weather radar.
The National Weather Service tweeted photos of what appeared to be a giant cloud over Phoenix and Mesa. But it wasn’t rain – it was Mexican free-tailed bats, leaving their summer home and migrating south.
Bat-watching is actually a popular activity in Arizona, which is home to more than 28 species of the flying mammals.
