Bat Homes Bats like to live in dark places like caves, trees, and buildings. Bats are nocturnal. This means they sleep during the day and are active at night.
Some bats roost in trees.
Many bats live in caves. Bracken Cave Texas is the home of the world's largest bat colony. Millions of Mexican free-tailed bats live there from March through October.
Bats sometimes find their way into old houses or abandoned buildings or barns.
Bats also make homes under bridges. The noise from cars doesn't seem to bother them.
This is a picture of a bat house. People build them because they want bats to move in. Bats like them because they like tight spaces to raise their babies in.
