Did you know that there are 8 different species of bat in Ontario, and Charleston Lake Provincial Park is likely home to all of them? It's true!

Bats are the only mammal that can fly, and are typically only active at night. While flying at night, our Bats hunt hundreds to thousands of insects like moths and mosquitoes, scooping them up with their tails and eating them mid-flight!🌌

Just think of how many more mosquito bites we would get if it weren't for our Bats!🦟
