00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.143
- What's your name?

2
00:00:01.143 --> 00:00:02.240
- My name is Dewan, and my question was

3
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:04.600
is do bats' echolocation get affected

4
00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:07.130
by the people coming in here making noise?

5
00:00:07.130 --> 00:00:09.960
- Good question, does
bats' sense of echolocation

6
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.640
get affected by people
coming in here making noise?

7
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.220
- Wow, that's a very good question.

8
00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:17.761
People can disturb bats, it's true,

9
00:00:17.761 --> 00:00:20.280
most of the time in here
we haven't really seen

10
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:22.150
too many bats when we've
been walking around,

11
00:00:22.150 --> 00:00:24.080
but in a lot of caves, they tend

12
00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:27.950
to not let people go into areas
where bats are hibernating,

13
00:00:27.950 --> 00:00:30.250
or where bats like to roost
so that we could protect them.

14
00:00:30.250 --> 00:00:32.367
So that we don't mess
with their hibernation

15
00:00:32.367 --> 00:00:34.950
or mess with them trying to fly in and out

16
00:00:34.950 --> 00:00:37.163
of the cave to go to
go eat dinner at night.

17
00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:39.443
- [Woman] Good question.

18
00:00:39.443 --> 00:00:40.993
- [Woman] Good question.

19
00:00:40.993 --> 00:00:42.430
- I was in a cave, and
there were bats flyin

20
00:00:42.430 --> 00:00:45.270
all over the place and they
did not mind me at all.

21
00:00:45.270 --> 00:00:46.800
They didn't care.

22
00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:49.367
They were still doin
their bat business, okay.

23
00:00:49.367 --> 00:00:50.221
(laughter)

24
00:00:50.221 --> 00:00:53.260
It was fascinating, okay.

25
00:00:53.260 --> 00:00:54.440
- Did any one get in your hair?

26
00:00:54.440 --> 00:00:55.747
- Up close and personal.

27
00:00:55.747 --> 00:00:57.410
No, they stayed out of my hair.

28
00:00:57.410 --> 00:00:58.765
- Yeah, that's totally a myth.

29
00:00:58.765 --> 00:01:02.590
Bats don't like to mess with us,

30
00:01:02.590 --> 00:01:04.190
they like to do their own thing.
