When dusk falls, 20 million Mexican free-tailed bats swoop out of Bracken Cave near San Antonio, Texas.
After spending the winter in Mexico, the bats fly north to procreate. By August, the pups can fly and the colony size reaches its peak.
Each night, the Bracken bat colony can eat 200 tons of moths, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
