Bat Conservation International's Bracken Bat Cave in San Antonio, TX is home to over 15 million Mexican free-tailed bats, making it the world's largest bat colony and one of the largest concentrations of mammals on earth. Visitors can witness the unforgettable sight of millions of bats emerging from the cave at dusk for their nightly insect hunt.

This renowned bat maternity colony produces millions of young each year, with expectant females returning in March and April to give birth to single pups in June. Guests can experience the awe-inspiring sight of young bats learning to fly under challenging conditions and joining their mothers to feed on insects outside the cave.
