Bat (Up-Close)
: Ms. Reynolds shows her four educational bats to the class. Here is one of
them. The picture shows that the bat spreads its wings using forelegs (its upper
arms, forearms, and especially four-fingered hands; these bones look like
human’s). Ms. Reynolds taught us that a bat’s hind paws look weird because the
hind legs rotate 180 degrees at its hip. These paws may help
bats
sleep hanging upside-down. Most people don’t like bats. Ms. Reynolds is
saying, “Bats, flying mammals are really useful to humans.” We’re pretty sure
this bat is a little brown bat. The pic was taken at Thomas Savage Visitor
Center, Fort Snelling State Park, St. Paul, MN, 051030. More info on bats,
