Hundreds of bats underneath Houston bridge lose grip, plunge to ground amid freezing temperatures
Fox News
In Houston, Texas, hundreds of bats plunged to the ground after losing grip in freezing temperatures. Nearly 1,600 bats were rescued and temporarily rehomed.
On Wednesday, over 1,500 will be released back to their habitats -- two Houston-area bridges -- after wildlife rescuers scooped them up and saved them by administering fluids and keeping them warm in incubators.
Mary Warwick, the wildlife director at the Houston Humane Society, said she was out doing holiday shopping when the freezing winds reminded her that she hadn't heard how the bats were doing in the unusually cold temperatures for the region. So she drove to the bridge where over 100 bats looked to be dead as they lay frozen on the ground.
