Bats killed by wind turbines, timelapse
Timelapse footage showing bats (order Chiroptera) which have been killed by wind turbines. Wind turbines tend to be at the height at which bats typically fly, and their lights attract insects which some bats eat. This leads to collisions which injure and kill bats. In Germany, for example, it is estimated that 200,000 bats are killed each year in collisions with the turbine blades.
