SUMMARY:BATS!
DESCRIPTION:BATS! \n\nWho? What? Where? When? Why? \n\n \n\n\n\nThe only 
 mammals that can fly... \n\nTheir wings are nearly identical to a human 
 hand...their order name\, Chiroptera\, translates to “hand wing” in Gree
 k... \n\nUsing sonar they can determine the distance\, size\, shape\, an
 d texture of objects in their flight path...avoiding objects as small as
  string in total darkness...  \n\nNorth Carolina is home to 17 species o
 f which multiple species are threatened\, endangered or status of specia
 l concern.... \n\nA single one can consume thousands of insects in a sin
 gle evening... \n\n \n\n\n\nWho are these creatures of the night? What i
 s the fungus that is decimating populations across the United States? Wh
 ere do bats sleep during the day? When can you see bats? Why are you mor
 e likely to be exposed to rabies from a racoon\, fox\, cat or dog?  \n\n
