True story: when the Waugh Bridge was built, no one realized it was the perfect structure to host a whole bunch of Mexican free-tailed bats. Well, apparently it was, because locals started noticing a bat colony around ‘99. Today, if you head to the viewing platform you’ll find the bats hanging tight until they spiral out from the bridge’s crevices on warm nights around sunset.
