| Return to previous page | Cave Bats | Bats that can be seen at the Bonnechere Caves |  | | Many people fear bats. Through the centuries, people have passed on superstitions, myths, and misunderstandings about bats. For example, consider the false expression 'blind as a bat.' In fact, all bats can see probably about as well as humans. Beliefs that bats carry bedbugs and get tangled in people's hair are also untrue. At night, they will try to fly out a window if they find themselves in a room. Bats are usually timid. Most bats are harmless to people. However, some bats can have rabies; therefore, bats should not be handled without protective measures. |
