Birds like to eat bugs. Karen Casadaban, SLP, November 2010
What makes an animal a mammal? • Warm blooded • Their babies are born live (not eggs) • They have hair • They feed their babies with milk. • A bat is an example of a mammal. • Are we mammals?
How does a bat use sonar? • They “scream” out high pitched sound waves…and they bounce off objects…like an echo.
How do humans interfere with bat colonies? • Chemicals on our crops • We close up caves where they may want to live. • We hinder and disrupt bat habitats, to make more human habitats.
