called a COLONY.
Then there are the bats! Those super
flying animals can’t see very well and
rely on using sound to find insects.
Bats also like the temperature of caves
and can hang upside-down from the
high cave ceilings to sleep. Clearwell
has many bat types such as lesser
horseshoe bats. When you snuggle
in your duvet to stay warm, spare a
thought for the lesser horseshoe bat
