USGS Frequently Asked Questions

Answer:

Bats are among the world's least appreciated and most endangered animals. I suggest that you visit Bat Conservation International's Web site, which has links to a great deal of information on bats, including a link that provides information on how to find a reputable bat removal service -- one that does not harm the bats. Your local university extension office may also provide information and assistance.

Our Web site contains much information on bats. The USGS Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center pages on bats begin at http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/mammals/okbats/ and include links to other sources of information. A delightful educational site, "Echo the Bat," can be accessed at http://imagers.gsfc.nasa.gov/. The Teachers' Guide contains links to bat conservation organizations and other sources of information. Finally, Bat Conservation International's extensive site at http://www.batcon.org provides a wealth of information, including volunteer opportunities and bat workshop schedules.
