Bats are far more than feared creatures of the night; they are vital to healthy ecosystems, economic stability, and scientific discovery. One-fifth of all mammal species are bats, and they can live up to nine times longer than expected for their size. Their unique sensory systems provide insight into diseases like blindness and deafness, while their absence would cost U.S. agriculture billions. Unlocking the secrets in their DNA could even reveal new ways to slow aging.
