Imagine hanging upside-down and looking at the world around you like a bat. You'll see how it feels when you step into the knight's castle, where the roof is a floor and the floor a roof. Children can even have a go at hanging upside-down like a bat. Stick an Insect with a Laser Beam Bats catch masses of insects during the night. Although it may be completely dark, they can catch up to a bucketful of gnats every evening.
Bats use high-frequency sound to orientate themselves in order to find food.
They listen to the echoes when sounds bounce off the surroundings. At a station in the exhibition you can hear the echo from your own voice. The bat's large outer ears are testimony to their excellent hearing. Its ears amplify the weak sound of the echo. You can test the enlarged ears at the exhibition to see if they affect your hearing.
