Unfortunately, OBC will be closing.

Today their Facebook page made an announcement that they will close, with no reasoning (or reference to any troubles at all) provided. Link: Organization for Bat Conservation & Save the Bats

It is likely many of them bats will go to Lubee Bat Conservancy. It seems OBC aid the only place with dog-faced bat(s) in America.

After glancing over a few more news sources, it seems it is not OBC which is closing but rather its exhibit of live animals, the Bat Zone, if I am understanding correctly. If anyone could clear up the situation, I would be grateful.

61 of OBC’s animals will be moving to the Detroit Zoo.

Does anyone know what happened to these bats?
