[00:00:00]Fact, all bats drink blood.

[00:00:03]Uh myth. So, not all bats drink blood, but there are species. There's three species of vampire bats uh found in Central and South America.

[00:00:11]They creep a little bit in the Southern Texas as well. And they mostly feed on uh livestock blood or bird blood. Myth or fact, seeing bats around your home is actually a good sign for the ecosystem.

[00:00:23]That's a fact. Uh if you have bats flying around, that means you have a healthy ecosystem around where you are.

[00:00:28]Uh you have native insects flying around, which usually means there's native plants. So, yeah, bats are a good indicator of the ecosystem.
