POLL! What is Humboldt’s Best Bat?
According to LoCO’s iNaturalist-fed Humboldt Life section, there are ten (10) species of bats that have been spotted within Humboldt’s borders. Some are arguably cute. Some are definitively not.
Today, we must choose which of these bats is the best and no one is better at discerning the good from the bad and/or ugly than you, the very judgmental LoCO readers.
