Every evening after sunset, their show begins. Acrobatics through the air. Dramatic vocals. Bug-eating. Bats - all 1400 species of them - have been the stars of the night time world for centuries. Join us as we peek behind the curtain of their nightly performance to find out some of bats’ most remarkable adaptations - from seeing with their ears to flying with their hands .
