The Pet Doctor - Episode 258 What We Need for a ‘Bat-ter’ Life

Author: Pet Life Radio November 30, 2017 Duration: 37:15
Through the ages, the way we view bats has been tainted by stories like Dracula and Batman. Champions of good or evil blood sucking Transylvanian royalty, in reality, bats serve an essential role in our ecosystem and they need our help. This show, the Pet Doctor, is about pets but I am not advocating that you keep these amazing creatures as companions. My hope is to dispel some of the myths about bats and to better understand their behaviors, biology, and our interdependence. This way we can hopefully both survive the changes that are going on around us.

If you have the chance to visit Monteverde, in the cloud forest of Costa Rica a trip to the research center, the Bat Jungle is a must. I was fortunate to visit this unique attraction and meet today’s guest , biologist and bat expert Vino De Backer.
