🦇 Happy Bat Appreciation Month from the team at Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance! 

Our three bat species, vampire bats, Seba’s short-tailed bats, and Jamaican fruit bats, call Tropical Discovery home, where our Animal Care Specialists, like Erik, work hard to ensure each species thrives. From feeding cow blood (a byproduct of the meat industry) to our vampire bats 🩸, to offering fruit and “bat slaw” for our fruit bats 🍉, every day is an opportunity to support their unique needs. 

Bats are true ecosystem heroes, helping control pests, pollinate plants, and disperse seeds. Despite their spooky reputation, most bats want nothing to do with humans and play a vital role in keeping our planet healthy. 

Come visit Tropical Discovery this week to celebrate Bat Appreciation Month and learn how these misunderstood mammals keep our ecosystems in balance. 🦇

This November, Denver voters have the opportunity to invest in the future of our city through the Vibrant Denver Bond, a plan to strengthen the essential infrastructure that connects us all. 

Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance is proud to endorse the Vibrant Denver Bond because these investments, including much-needed improvements on our own campus, reflect a shared commitment to our community’s future. 

Denver residents: vote YES on 2A–2E!
