Ep. 38: Frickin' Bats (feat. Sophiane)

Happy Spooky Season!

This week we finally talk bats, especially vampire bats. Why would a vampire bat want to bite you? How do they find their prey items? Who's the girl that survived symptomatic rabies?

We're also joined by long time listener and renowned bat lover, Sophiane (@HonkIfURHoary) ! She helps us answer some big questions like, what should you do if there's a bat in your home? Where's the best spot for a bat box? What is White Nose Syndrome, and how can we help bats in our area? And, most importantly: When can we expect Fat Bat Week?
