Despite what it may seem, bats live in many types of habitats, not just our attics, walls, chimneys and barns…they also like to live in our shutters, closed patio umbrellas, brick columns, and just about any place that is cozy enough and protected enough! But, in reality, bats DO live quite happily without man made structures. They live in rocky outcrops, cliffs, caves, under bark, and in dead tree snags, although they also love man made bridges, mines and tunnels.
