Program Description
From vampires to witchcraft, bats sometimes get a bad rap. But is their spooky reputation deserved? Register your class to chat about bat anatomy and physiology with Andie Carrillo, Zoology Preparator for the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, who works with the order Chiroptera...inside and out. Why are bats important to their ecosystems? How do we study bats and other animals at the Museum? Hang around (or upside down) and you just might have your mind changed by these incredible flying mammals. Register your class today for this behind-the-scenes virtual field trip!
