Over fall break I was able to see a really cool program at the Children's Museum! It was on bats. They said that they do it every year, so if you remember it next year, you should ask your parents if they could take you. They talked about bats and brought 4 different kinds of bats to show us. They also walked around the room so that everyone could see them close up! They brought 2 small bats and 2 large bats. The two small bats were the dog face bat and the little brown bat (I think). The large bats were both fruit bats. One was the same kind of fruit bat that the book Stellaluna was written about. The other bat was the largest kind of bat there is, a Malaysian fruit bat. It was really cool and big. I think that they said that its wing spand is 5 feet. That means that when their wings are completely spread out, the length from wing tip to wing tip would be 5 feet! That is taller than most of you!!!!
I hope you enjoy the pictures! :)

Look...It's Stellaluna! :O)
This is the Mayalasian fruit bat...the largest kind of bat!
Aren't its feet cool. They really do look like our hands! The lady just walked around with the bat hanging from her arm like a purse. Her 2 daughters that were in 2nd and 3rd grade were there helping her.
