All About Bats!

Description

There's so much more to bats than their spooky reputation! There are 9 species of bats in Massachusetts, 5 of which are endangered. Learn about why these special creatures matter, how to support them in your neighborhoods, and which species are flapping around above our heads! Using a special piece of technology created by Wildlife Acoustics, we will be able to pick up their ultrasonic calls and accurately identify the species around us.
