Caving Canada - Canadian Bat Resources
"The Bat Conservation Society of Canada is a federally registered Not-for-Profit corporation with approximately 300 members (and growing each day) across Canada. Currently we are involved in education programs at schools and any groups which are looking for talks on bats. (Unfortunately we are limited to Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan at this time.) We are an information resource for the general public regarding information on the bats of Canada or bats in general."

Buzbee Bat House Temperature Plot
"It began one evening in Egypt several years ago. I was crossing the Nile on a small sailboat and was fascinated by the sight of bats skimming the surface of the river, snatching up the insects . Upon returning home to Denver, I thought it might be interesting to put up a bat house to see if I could attract any bats. After a couple of months of trying to convince my wife, she relented ( and actually bought me a book on bats ). So my Son and I built and erected the bat house."

The Calgary Explorer
" There was a chorus of tiny, high-pitched squeaks as Brent MacLeod folded back the top of the small drawstring bag he'd carried into the room a moment earlier. From the sound of her protests the bag's minute occupant was in no mood for our rude interruption of her nap, but with some gentle persistence she was extracted and soon sitting on the end of Brent's thumb."

Fruit Bat Webquest (gr. 2-3)
This fantastic webquest site, based on the story StellaLuna, has excellent information, great photos, and some sound clips as well. As an independent reading activity, however, I think it might be more suitable for grade 3 and above.

The Bat Cave
"This exhibit is based on a reconstruction of parts of St. Clair cave in Jamaica. The staff of the Royal Ontario Museum first visited St. Clair cave in 1965 to collect bats. The field trip marked the beginning of the museum's research program on bats, still a major focus of the Mammalogy department." You can explore a real bat cave and find the answers to many myths about bats on this website.

Vancouver Island Cave Bats
"Bat use of the Weymer Creek karst area was studied from 1996 to 1998, following the discovery of a Myotis bat hibernaculum. We used a variety of monitoring techniques backed up by careful observations to develop an understanding of how bats use the study area and to determine the climatic characteristics of subsurface bat habitat. We hope to produce recommendations that will lead to sound management of Myotis bats and their habitat within the west coast rainforest karst environment."
