Bat Observation - The steps that I followed to observe and study Bats

Welcome back , once again .

  This time I share with you some info on Bats . Wildlife and Bat-Lovers , Read this blog-post !

My Dad gave me an idea to write this blog... So I thought it was worth sharing ....

Many people consider bats are bad . This is such a misfortune for children that these days they can not see these creatures . Bats are harmless animals but only bite when they are in harm . Considering this , I had a Holiday Homework and even making it a hobby for quite some days ,  I used to go out in the night or the late evenings to a bunch of trees near my home in Tumkur .  I observed and studied them as per the protocols I had made ; -

1 . Keep yourself safe
2 . Please take a flashlight with you
3 . Please accompany to the place with elders [ Above 18 ]
4 . Wear full arm clothes
5 . Do NOT and for any reason get in contact with Bats . They may or may not bite you
6 . Do not go to places such as deep , smelly caves or huge underground caves near waterfalls just to
     study bats
7 . Please make sure you are fully covered .
8 . Don't disturb the Bats , Sometimes to defend themselves , they may drop ' BAT GUANO ' *

BAT GUANO - Bat poop or Bat droppings .

The most important points :-
1 .  DO NOT TOUCH , SMELL OR  EXPOSE YOURSELF TO 'BAT GUANO' .
2There is another danger , but lesser known . People say (and scientifically proven) that Bats
      carry and one that is not as easy to avoid, is histoplasmosis, a disease you can get from   
      exposure to bat guano .
3 .  Most of them say that bats carry Rabies , although it is true , only certain bats carry them .   
      But , be careful . You can never observe bats eye-to-eye !

 These were some of the protocols I followed . IF you guys follow these protocols and observe and study Bats , may it be for your projects or your interest in Bats , you will enjoy it ! 

Enjoy the blog-post and please do comment...

Swachch Baharat Power Presentation

It is interesting to note the importance given for "Swachch Baharat" andolan - a government initiation taken by our PM, Sri. Narendra Modi and it is good to see lots of people are taking serious note of it and actively participating in it voluntarily as individual or as team. As a part of  creating awareness in our school, I was asked by a teacher to prepare a a power point presentation, which I thought worth of sharing ...
