Animal Myths Exposed

Have you heard the expression “Blind as a bat!”? This saying has become a fixture in our everyday vocabulary. This notion probably developed because bats primarily use a form of sonar called echolocation to navigate through dark areas and avoid obstacles. Their eyes, while small and sometimes poorly developed, are also completely functional. They also have excellent hearing and sense of smell.

Have you seen our Egyptian Fruit Bats? Meet them on September 4 at our Stargazing event or visit them during regular Zoo hours in the Loft at the new Rainforest Exhibit! Here you will see invertebrates, tortoises and our ball python too! You never know what you might discover on your next visit!
