Exhibit opens May 22!
Enter through a neo-Gothic portal and learn about the upside-down world of bats! The exhibit includes multi-sensory interactive displays, and lifelike models. Lose your misconceptions about these night creatures and discover their ecological importance as well as the true wonders of the bat world.
Listen through giant, bat-like ears and maneuver a bat model with a joystick to hunt food. Use laser-simulated sonar to understand bat “echolocation.” At the bat nursery, learn the nurturing traits of mother bats. Flex a giant mechanical wing and see how similar bat and human bodies are.
Tauna Powell, a senior wildlife specialist at the Museum said, “Bats have a bad reputation and are misunderstood by many, but they play an important role in the ecosystem. In the High Desert, some species of bats eat 600 to 1,000 mosquitoes in just one hour.”
July 13 through 19, meet live bats in a fun, entertaining, interactive program.
The exhibit runs through Sept. 13.
