II bunch OF bats could be discovered
in the hollow trunk of some old forest tree
during the midwinter thaw your walk
would be richly rewarded. They hibernate
together; one bat fastens his claws into the
tree, the second clings to the body of the
first and so on. Thus they all hang to-
gether for mutual warmth. A flock of bats
when hibernating looks very much like
bunch of bananas hanging from tree. and
in this condition they sleep throughout the
winter, waking up only during the thaw.
They select dark part OF the forest and
seclude themselves in the hollow trunk OF
a tree, so that they are rarely discovered.
If touched by an intruder on a warm day
they will squeak and make a great noise,
but rarely open their eyes. To the touch
they are cold and clammy, and on ex
tremely cold days their limbs appear to be
frozen stiff With a slight blow (which OF
course would not be given) II was found
that wing or claw may be snapped off.
But when the bat returns to life again in
the spring the wound Is all healed up.

Suddenly the stiffness may be broken by
the merry chatter of squirrel as he
perches saucily on a nut tree and calls to
his mate in the warm nest. If you are

his buried treasure stored so carefully in
