lifespan

Little brown bats have a lifespan of 35 years, which is longer than any other Wisconsin mammal. Except humans, I guess.

That's a lot of years to eat insects.

I intend to put up bat houses at the new house.

I admire the idea of a bat house and I know they're helpful. I just can't stand the idea of having any, ANY bat close to me. I'm phobic.

What if it's sleeping in its house, some distance away from you?

Not so long ago, 35 years was the lifespan of a human.

And bats even hibernate for more than a quarter of their live.

I don't get out so much in the winter. Does that count?
