Patrick Simmons+FollowGiant Bat Spotted Off Oregon Coast?!Did you see this? Scientists just found a massive bat species living by the Oregon coast—like, 4-foot wingspan massive! These bats aren’t hanging in trees; they’re chilling in sea caves and snacking on fish and crabs. Their waterproof fur and webbed feet are wild, and their echolocation is tuned for hunting underwater. Only about 2,000 exist, so researchers are scrambling to learn more and protect them. Nature is seriously full of surprises! #Science #OregonCoast #WildlifeDiscovery10Share
