| Our second grade class has been studying about the brown bat because brown bats live in Fort D, a Civil War site across the road from our school. In the spring and summer, we can see the bats flying over the school eating the insects attracted by our lighting. So please take a look at our bat quiz, bat poetry and bat pictures. We enjoyed doing our research and we hope you enjoy our results. | ||

If you ate like a bat, how many
peanut & butter jelly sandwiches would you have to eat every day?
No, all bats don't eat insects. Some bats eat fruit. Tony
Bats are good hunters. They hear better than us. Brown bats use echolocation to find insects. They send out a high sound that bounces back to them when it hits an insect. The bat then knows which way to go to catch that insect. Brittany

True or FalseBat's wings are actually their hands. True. Bats fly with their hands. The bones in their wings are the same as in our hands. The hooked claws are their thumbs. Like your skin, bat wings can heal if punctured. Bat's often will wrap their wings around themselves as they hang up for good day's sleep. Myon
They hang downwards clinging to the rafters with their feet. Michelle
Brown bats hibernate in mines and caves for the winter. Terelle
They walk into a cave and wake it up so it will have to fly away. That will take away a month's energy. Jennifer

| Bats are flying
in the sky. They make contact with the bugs. The bugs do not know that until they look back and get eaten by the bat. The bat sent little sounds and a bug sends it back so that's how bats eat and live. Mother bats eat some bugs and come back to feed her babies. So when the girl bats grow up the same thing happens again. by Chase |
