[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Freezing temperatures in Houston are taking a toll on the city's largest bat colony, as the cold can cause the bats to go into hypothermic shock
- The Waugh Bridge, where many Mexican free-tailed bats live, is not providing sufficient warmth to protect them from the harsh weather
- The bats are falling from their perches onto the pavement
- Houston Humane Society's wildlife Dept are rescuing the cold-stunned bats and placing them next to a heat source to raise their body temperature
