Researchers in Belize's Lamanai Archaeological Reserve study neotropical bats using a 25-ft net in the Bat-a-thon event.

In northern Belize, a group of researchers venture into the Lamanai Archaeological Reserve to study neotropical bats, a region with over 75 species. Splitting into teams, one group erects a 25-foot-tall net to catch high-flying insect-eating bats. The Bat-a-thon aims to increase knowledge of these fascinating creatures and their role in ecosystems.
