Hi Listeners! We are trying out something new this episode, and swapping an episode with our friend Laine at Nature Nerds, a podcast in the Kids Listen family. We've never done this before, but we thought we would try it this time because we really think if you like our show, you'll also like Nature Nerds. (Our family listened to the whole first season in one day.)

In each episode, Laine and her nature assistant learn about a new animal through a mix of exploration and speaking with experts. There's a lot of humor and even a little magic at play too!

In this episode, you'll learn more about bats. We think you'll enjoy it. If you do, head over to wherever you listen to podcasts and look for "Nature Nerds" for more episodes on animals like nutria and honeybees.

And we'll be back soon with our mystery animal. We can't wait to share it with you. Thanks for listening!
