- What's your name?
- My name is Dewan, and my question was
is do bats' echolocation get affected
by the people coming in here making noise?
- Good question, does bats' sense of echolocation
get affected by people coming in here making noise?
- Wow, that's a very good question.
People can disturb bats, it's true,
most of the time in here we haven't really seen
too many bats when we've been walking around,
but in a lot of caves, they tend
to not let people go into areas where bats are hibernating,
or where bats like to roost so that we could protect them.
So that we don't mess with their hibernation
or mess with them trying to fly in and out
of the cave to go to go eat dinner at night.
- [Woman] Good question.
- I was in a cave, and there were bats flyin
all over the place and they did not mind me at all.
They didn't care.
They were still doin their bat business, okay.
(laughter)
It was fascinating, okay.
- Did any one get in your hair?
- Up close and personal.
No, they stayed out of my hair.
- Yeah, that's totally a myth.
Bats don't like to mess with us,
they like to do their own thing.
