Bats fall like stones from the sky

Across much of the United States, people are currently reeling from the winter storm Go to the door. That Weather Gets absolutely crazy – even in parts Temperature drops are rare. For example, in Houston, south of Texas.

In the capital city of Houston, it is usually eight degrees in winter, but a few days ago it was almost ten degrees. It was not only difficult for the people there to endure, but especially for the animal world.

According to animal rights activist Mary Warwick, bats have had to struggle a lot with adhesion problems. Warwick accidentally discovers “shock-frozen” animals under a bridge, and he already suspects the temperature. Can be a problem for mammals.

With a team from the Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition (TWRC) and the Humane Society, Warwick has now collected more than 1,500 bats. The animals were housed in the attic of a voluntary animal shelter.
