Out walking the dog: One Million Bats Dead … and counting



In popular culture, October is the month for bats.

In fact, by Halloween, bats of the Northeast are disappearing from the forests, fields and city streets. Yes, city streets. New York City is home to bats. Richard Simon of NYC’s Urban Park Rangers told Amy Zimmer of DNAInfo.com that Central Park is probably home to hundreds of bats, although they go mostly undetected due to their nocturnal habits, speed and tiny size.
