TED-Ed

From plant pollination to pest control, explore how bats contribute to ecosystems and the importance of protecting bats to reduce the risk of transmitting disease. -- What flies through the night, silently guarding and protecting our world from evil? Batman? Try... a bat. Like Batman, bats are widely misunderstood and vilified. Amy Wray disproves the myth that bats are dangerous villains and explains why they, instead, deserve a hero's welcome -- and our protection. Lesson by Amy Wray, animation by TED-Ed.
