It's been ten years since the first Selman Bat Watch, and today there are even more bats to see than ever before. Come watch millions fly overhead against the setting sun as they leave their cave to dine on 10 tons of insects!

Long before pioneers settled the prairies, Mexican free-tailed bats used the Selman Bat Cave. Ancestors of those bats still make the trek to the Selman Wildlife Management Area every year. Much of the site remains as it did 100 years ago.
The Wildlife Department proudly manages this important resource for future generations of Oklahomans, the bats and their visitors.
