Bats have occupied our planet for fifty million years yet we have only seriously studied them over the last six decades! Through Q&A, a brief power point presentation, and the help of a charming Big Brown bat named Theo, we’ll explore biology, ecology, sonar, and the cultural highs and horrific lows of these extraordinary, and often misunderstood creatures. Gerri Griswold, the Director of Administration and Development at The White Memorial Conservation Center in Litchfield, Connecticut is the presenter for this thought-provoking lecture. This lecture, taking place in the Hanson Exploration Station, is part of the Evening Lecture Series, sponsored by Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo Volunteer Association. Admission is FREE with donations gratefully accepted. Refreshments will be served.
