Yes, you read that right – bats While they might not be the first animal that comes to mind when thinking of school mascots, these little creatures are actually quite cool. The bat mascot is used by a handful of schools, and it's surprisingly popular in Montana. At Transylvania University, for example, their mascot is Raf, a Rafinesque's big-eared bat, which is a nod to the university's historical connection with the naturalist Constantine Samuel Rafinesque. These bats aren't just adorable; they also play a crucial role in the ecosystem by keeping insect populations in check. So, the next time you see a bat mascot, remember they're not just cute faces – they're also eco-heroes Whether they're cheering on sports teams or making appearances at school events, bat mascots are definitely making a mark.
