Description
There's so much more to bats than their spooky reputation! Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight, which you can see over the evening fields at Habitat.
Venture out onto the sanctuary after hours as bats become active, observing their flight patterns overhead. A naturalist will share what makes bats such remarkable and misunderstood creatures, which species might be flapping around above, and why their conservation status makes protecting wild spaces so important. It's the perfect opportunity to connect to wildlife and take part in a special seasonal experience.
