Learn about Bats in the Garden with Dr. Tuttle
Lakeway Activity Center 105 Cross Creek, Lakeway, TX, United StatesFor more than 60 years Dr. Tuttle has studied and photographed the world’s most amazing bats on every continent where they occur. His work has been featured in leading publications worldwide, including five articles in National Geographic. And he has spoken at most of the world’s leading institutions of science, from Harvard and the Smithsonian to the British Museum. He will show bats as cute as any panda and as strange as any dinosaur, bats worth billions of dollars annually to human economies and bats that are vital to whole ecosystems, from deserts to rain forests. He will show giant flying foxes with nearly six-foot wingspans and tiny bumblebee bats that weigh less than a U.S. penny. His photos document bats capturing insects, centipedes, fish, and frogs, pollinating incredible flowers, dispersing seeds, and coming to his hand on call. Most importantly, Dr. Tuttle will document a long history of bats proving themselves to be safe and invaluable neighbors and may even convince you to put up a bat house!
