The park goes Batty!
Bats comprise one quarter of the world's total number of mammal species.
There are many misconceptions that portray bats as scary and fearsome creatures.
But bats play an important ecological role by helping with seed dispersal, pest control and pollination.
Without bats, the world as we know it would be very different.
In this entertaining presentation, we will separate fact from fiction and share tips to help you be a good bat neighbor.
