We learned all sorts of things about baby bats.  We played a game that helped us to understand how some mother bats find their babies.  Mother bats can identify their babies by the way they smell and sound.   Each baby bat was given a plastic bottle with a certain scent ( vinegar, cinnamon, garlic, and coffee).  The  mother bat became familiar with the smell.  Each baby bat also selected a certain call that the mother could identify.  The blindfolded mothers used their senses to find their babies.  We had so much fun playing this game.
