Geocache Description:


GOING BATTY #9

 

Welcome to my new Bat caches.  When I lived in Missouri during the summer of 2003, I worked at Ozark Caverns within Lake of The Ozarks State Park. Ozark Caverns has remained mostly natural as there is no lighting installed in the caves, which makes it a great habitat for bats.  I learned quite a bit about bats and wanted to create a few bat puzzle caches: the "Bump In The Night" for Snag The Tag is the perfect time to do it too.  

 

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

 

Bat Fact #9

Pulmonary system

 

Bats have pseudo-venous-hearts. This means that when they beat their wings hard and fast, the centrifugal effect traps blood at the outer edge. They even have muscular areas out near the wingtips that can squeeze the blood back inwards so that the blood can be recirculated. Also, they have weird shunts between arteries and veins that can move blood back before it goes as far as the wingtips.

 

Puzzle:

The following five bats are just a start of all the species of bats discovered.

 

Brown Long-Eared Bat

Lesser Short-Nosed Fruit Bat

Old World leaf-nosed bats
