Today Batty Patty came to our class! We got to see some pretty neat bat photos, play some bat games and activities, as well as learn some new bat facts.

How many times can a bat flap its wings in one second?

What did you learn about flying fox bats? Is there just one kind? How big can their wingspan be?

What do insect-eating bats use to find their food? How can you tell the difference between an insect-eating bat and a fruit-eating bat?

 

How many bats can fit in the bat house Patty showed us?

What can we do to help bats?

This summer, Leah’s mom and dad found a bat clinging to a wall outside of their pharmacy. Wanting to make sure the bat didn’t get hurt, they called Batty Patty to come and help. Here is a picture of the bat that was outside of their store!

How did Patty help the bat? Why couldn’t she use her bare hands?
