Summary

Description

Jessica Welch removes a bat from the net.

To capture the bats, biologists hang fine nets, called mist nets, across areas the bats are likely to pass through. Once captured, the biologists move quickly to get it out of the net and into a paper bag where it safely awaits having its data collected.
