Imagine walking through the forest during a nice sunny day. You hear birds chirping, see the fall colours rustle in the breeze, and watch squirrels gathering food. Stop; take pictures; relax.
Now imagine walking that same trail at night. Do you feel just as relaxed?
Bats have had a bad reputation since long before Bram Stoker. The silent flight of owls makes them easy to compare to ghostly shadows in the night sky. Coyote yips and yowling in the wee hours can send chills up your spine.
Nocturnal critters — bats, owls, coyotes, even moths — are not usually among our favourite or most popular animals. These creatures that roam after dark have captured our imagination — and our imagination can play tricks.
This October, our naturalists spill all the juicy details about these critters. We’ll cover spiders, bats, wolves and lots of other creepy creatures.
Ever wonder what happens to spider webs? Do bats truly do drink blood?
We’ve got the answers!
