A Journey into the Hidden World of Tropical Bats with Scientists from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute
This event is online-only. Join us in kicking off October as we welcome three Smithsonian-affiliated scientists (Dr. Rachel A. Page, Dr. Dina K. N. Dechmann, and Dr. M. Teague O’Mara) to teach us about the remarkable world of tropical bats!
For decades, scientists at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute have studied the remarkable biodiversity of bats on Barro Colorado Island in Panama, where an astonishing seventy-six species coexist. Now, for the first time, Smithsonian scientists’ expertise pairs with the stunning photography of National Geographic contributor Christian Ziegler for a captivating visual journey into the fascinating world of these elusive night creatures, to bring you the book Bat Island: A Rare Journey into the Hidden World of Tropical Bats.
