BATS!!!!

The Night Safari has over 900 nocturnal animals living with the wildlife park. There are 3 different walking trails you can take, meandering through the Himalayan expanse to the plains of Africa. The views were spectacular and while it was dark, there were plenty of lights available to see your way and view the animals. The highlight of the whole trip was the bats (you knew I was going to say that). This exhibit was contained with giant nets surrounding the enclosure. No glass, however, was included. Instead, there were triple doors, inviting you into their night world. You stepped inside to whirring wings and chirps as the bats swirled above you on their search for food. I loved watching them fly about, squabble with others over a choice fruit and then settle down to clean themselves or watch us wander about. You could feel the air movements as they flew past – nothing short of breathtaking.
I must admit the picture leaves much to be desired but it was the only one that even remotely came out.
