Hi, listeners. We're trying out something new this time and swapping an episode with our friend Lane at Nature Nerds, a podcast in the Kids Listen family.

We've never done this before, but we thought we would try it this time because we really think if you like our show, you'll also like Nature Nerds.

Our family listened to the whole first season in one day. In each episode, Lane and her nature assistant learn about a new animal through a mix of exploration and speaking with experts.

There's a lot of humor and even a little magic at play, too.

In this episode, you'll learn more about bats.

We think you'll enjoy it, even if you find bats a little creepy like I do.

If you do, head over to where you listen to podcasts and look for nature nerds for more episodes on animals like

Nutria and honeybees. And we'll be back soon with our mystery animal. We can't wait to share it with you.

Thanks for listening. Oh man, Miss Lane, it's raining like crazy out there.

Miss Lane? Are you here? The door was unlocked, so I just came in.

Miss Lane? Hello? Huh, maybe she's in her office.

Miss Lane, you here? Geez, it's so dark in here.

Ugh.

The bulb must have burnt out.

I think there's a lamp on Miss Lane's desk.

If I can just...

Ow!

Who puts a chair in the middle of the room?

Here it is.

What's this?

Whoa, I've never seen a book this old before.

This thing must be ancient.
