Hello Smarty pants. Welcome to trusty Trivia Thursday. Today we're taking flight into to the shadowy, squeaky and nocturnally awesome world of bats. But before we swoop into the spooky stuff, let's send a high flying shout out to Rayan in New Jersey. You told us how you and your dad listen every time you drive to school and have been listening for over a year. You love learning about science and facts in a fun way. Yep, you are an A, Smarty pants. All right, you are. Now let's flap into some bat trivia. Question 1 what kind of animal is a bat? Is it A, a bird, B, an insect, or C, a mammal? Did you say C? You're fangtastic. Bats are mammals and they're the only ones that can truly fly. And they're full of fascinating features. Next question. What special ability do many bats use to navigate in the dark? Is it a bat radar, B echolocation, or C night vision goggles? If you pick B, you are flying through this trivia. Echolocation lets bats bounce sound waves off objects to see in the dark. It's like night vision, but with squeaks. Final question. Why are bats important for ecosystems? Is it A, they pollinate plants, B they eat insects, or C, all of the above? Did you go with C? Bat's the right answer. You're flying high with facts. Bats are crucial to nature. They pollinate flowers, spread seeds, and gobble up mosquitoes like nature's pest patrol. You're flying high, smartypants. So join us next Thursday for more trivia that's anything but batty. And if you want to learn more about bats, check out our bats episode in the who's Smarted archives. Thanks, smarty pants.
