Fruit Bats

Sign up to track this →

Each year around November, millions of straw-colored fruit bats descend on a small patch of swamp forest in Zambia's Kasanka National Park, the largest mammal migration on Earth.

At dusk the sky darkens as they pour out to feed, a spectacle few travelers ever witness.
