Baby Bats!

For a class read aloud, we read "Silverwing" by Kenneth Oppel.  We are now on the next book in the series called, "Sunwing."  These books follow a silverwing bat named Shade on many exciting adventures.  Through reading these books, we've learned a lot about bats and their habitats and their adaptations.  For example, how they use echolocation to "see" with their ears.

We've all developed an interest in bats so when I stumbled across an Australian website for a bat orphanage, I was excited.  Today we checked out the photos and video of baby bats being cared for by humans.  We decided to share the link with you all so you could share in the cuteness!  Click HERE to enjoy.
