GOINGÂ Â BATTY #35
Â
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. Â

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Bat Fact #35
Â
Bats have odd feet.
Â
I want you to think about your hands for a second. When you relax them, they sit in an open position. To close your hands into a fist, you need to use your muscles.
Â
But a bat’s talons work precisely the opposite. Their claws relax into a closed position!
Â
In fact, the tendons that close the claws are not connected to muscles at all. They tighten and close based on the fact that the body’s weight pulls them tight. Bats actually have to use muscles to open their claws, so hanging costs them absolutely no effort. Gravity does all the work for them.
