Contact: Melinda Repko, 740-774-1126 Night-Time Bat Adventure Date: Friday, June 5, 2015 In our common folklore there are many myths and legends surrounding bats. Vampires?! Blind creatures of the night?! A crime-fighting Bat-Man?! Bring your flashlights and learn the true nature of these social creatures in a unique night-time program. Dr. Brian Carver from Tennessee Technological University will set-up nets and special ultrasonic detection equipment which will enable us to see and hear bats in the dark. If we are lucky we will be able to get a close-up, bat-in-hand, look at these intelligent mammals.A beautiful bat house will be raffled among those attending. For directions to the Mound City Group visitor center, please visit the Directions page where you will find maps and detailed directions from major points in Ohio. |
