PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Fat Bear Week, here we go. The bat beauty contest is now gearing up.
The Bureau of Land Management has been hosting an online contest since 2019 to raise awareness about the ecological importance of this animal. The federal agency is posting photos of bats on its Facebook and Instagram accounts and asking people to vote for the cutest bat. The bats are part of a wild population on public land and were photographed by agency staff.
