Rare Bats May Put A Halt On New Water Park In Miami

A development plan for a water park at Zoo Miami may cause some issues due to rare bats in the area. Miami Wilds is a 27.5 acre concept that has been years in the making. It will feature a water park, retail shoppes, and a 200-room boutique hotel. The developer also believes it will help boost the economy by creating jobs.

There's just one problem- the bats. Conservationists fear it may endanger the Florida Bonneted Bats- one of the rarest in the country. They like to hang out in the parking lot of Zoo Miami where the park is being built. The conservationists love the idea of the water park, they just don't want it built on such a sensitive site.

The park could be up and running in 3 years if plans are worked out.
