They Don't Love You Like I Love You

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

Descriptive Transcript

[Audio description: Doctored images of a lesser long-nosed bat and organ pipe cactus dance to “Maps” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The moves are simple: The bat sticks its wing out as if to say “Wait!”, then wiggles back and forth rapidly.
The bat leaps belly-first onto an organ pipe bloom and wiggles with the flower in its wings. Its wiggles become increasingly frenzied as the camera pulls out and rotates.]

Description

How far would you stray to see your honey? Lesser long-nosed bats have been observed migrating up to 990 miles from Sonora to southern Arizona, chasing summer cactus blooms.
