  This has to be one of the best TED Talks. No flashy animations. No buzzwords. Just a guy who loves bats being low key hella famous. I went to watch a motoGP race in Austin & was SO EXCITED because that's where the bat bridge is! We had fancy whiskey at the hotel nearby then hopped in kayaks to watch them come out after sunset. ❤ It was a great experience! 🎉 All thanks to this guy, Merlin Tuttle.

  I especially think ANYONE could benefit from “winning friends instead of BATtles” 😂<br>Seriously- look at all the good he has done for people and agriculture, etc . And it was by teaching or informing people instead of attacking them. I am very impressed with this humble man and the fact that he followed his interests his entire life!

  Dr. Merlin Tuttle is a true pioneer. I had the immense pleasure to attend one of his workshops in Fentress, Texas- Join the Nightlife in 2023- Merlin Tuttle Bat Conservation. Merlin is a wonderful story teller and the expert on bats. After you read his books, you realize he is the Indiana Jones of the bat world. All of my students know Dr. Tuttle and they are Bat Ambassadors. I love his motto, &quot;Win friends, not battles!&quot;
