Bats | Science Trek

This episode of IdahoPTV's Science Trek describes the key role bats play in the ecosystem.  They help pollinate plants so we have food. They eat insects so bugs do not overwhelm us. But 25 percent of all bat species are threatened with extinction.  Watch a biologist discuss how he catches and handles bats. Find out why they are becoming an endangered species.
