Bats

It might be a good idea to take this warning from the state of Illinois seriously especially if you see bats in the daytime. The Land of Lincoln is warning that bats have been discovered in many Illinois counties to have rabies.

Do not dare Missouri to be weird unless you're prepared to witness it. This is the perfect example. Yes, it really is possible to drive through a bat cave on a golf cart in the Show Me State and obtain beer while doing it.

Missouri is a state full of caves many of which you can explore. There is one however that had to be closed from humans in an effort to try and save the bats inside.

It's the only cave in Illinois that's open to the public, but it wasn't open for a long time. That's because of a danger that involved bats. Now, it's available to explore again, but there's a catch.

This just in. You don't get to watch the new Batman movie without a ticket even if you're a bat. Don't believe me? There's video of one of these mysterious winged beasts who tried it until he was caught.

A Missouri man saw a bat. He was sober at the time. Why do I mention that detail? Because he claims the bat had a wing span of around 10 feet. Get some popcorn. You know this is gonna be good.

No one wants to find a bat in their home. One Illinois man did and he's now dead from rabies. His death now serves as a warning about what (and not) to do if you find a bat in your home.

Alvey-Mudd hopes to help participants “fall in love” with bats. She hopes to debunk common scary bat misconceptions and teach creepy cool Missouri bat facts.
