Biker's Startling Find on Path: A Cautionary Tale

A biologist on TikTok has issued a warning to nature lovers after finding a bat on a bike path. He advised against touching bats with bare hands, as they may carry rabies. Bats are crucial for healthy ecosystems, playing a significant role in pest control and pollination. They save the agricultural industry billions of dollars by eating insects that can damage crops. To protect bats, it is recommended to leave dead or dying trees for roosting sites and limit light pollution to avoid disrupting their flight.
