Secret Life of Bats

With over 1300 known species, bats are some of the most numerous mammals on the planet. Despite being so abundant and found on every continent except Antarctica, bats are misunderstood and under threat. Join us for a lively presentation in which Dr. Laura Kloepper, a Chiropterologist (aka Bat Scientist), explains the wonders of bats and how you can help protect them.

She will explain the incredible adaptations bats have that allow them to be so prolific, the current threats to bats, and how you can help protect them. Her presentation will include videos and pictures from her own field research at bat caves and there will be plenty of time for Q&A at the end.
