Geocache Description:


GOING BATTY #10

 

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 #10

Bats are designed to hang upside down.

 

As you may know, bats roost and hibernate by hanging upside down!

 

So how do they keep all the blood from flooding their brains?

 

Well, bats have evolved one-way valves in their venous bloodstream to keep their heads and brains from drowning in blood. It also helps that bats have small brains, and the pressure isn’t much anyway.

 

Hanging upside down provides a lot of safety for bats because it makes it difficult for preying animals to reach and locate them. In addition, there is virtually no competition from other creatures for space since hanging is not a popular sleeping methodology—bats have their pick of these otherwise hard to access locations.
