Bat Night for Children in the Botanical Garden

Bats "see" with their ears and fly with their hands. We rarely notice these mammals with their extremely fascinating way of life, as they are active during twilight and at night. All native bats hunt and navigate using ultrasound echolocation, which is not perceivable to us humans. With bat detectors that convert the high-frequency calls of bats into sounds we can hear, we embark on a search for these small, flying insect eaters during a walk through the Botanical Garden.
