International Bat Night Thu Aug 27th, 2020
International Bat Night is a date that takes place every year to celebrate these creatures, with a number of different bat events taking place around the world for the public to get involved with.
These events give you the opportunity to help bat conservation and to learn more about these creatures.
There are talks at dusk and fun bat walks; it is definitely the sort of activity you should experience at least once, as it will give you a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with these incredible animals and to learn more about them.
When we say that bats are incredible creatures, we do not expect you to simply take our word for it. After all, bats are the only mammals that can fly.
They also use echolocation in order to get around during the night. As you probably know, bats do most of their living when it is dark and they cannot see very well.
Because of this, they need to depend on other navigational skills, instead of sight. They send out beeps, listening for variations in the echoes that bounce back in order to understand where they are and to get around effectively.
