Build a BatAfter students have enjoyed making andflying their bat gliders, point out that batsneed our protection. Some bats' habitatsare being destroyed. Some bats are killedby people who do not understand that batsplay an important role in nature. As a fol-low-up, have students design a T-shirt orposter that says, "Bats are Beautiful," or"Don't Bug Bats." You might also wantto share aloud portions of Extremely WeirdBats by Sarah Lovett (Santa Fe, New Mex-ico: John Muir Publications, 1991.)

..0:33:41:rx013

Give a Snake a Break1. 27, True. They "hear" by feeling vibra-tions in the ground.2. 68, False. Snakes have no eyelids. Theeye is covered by a tough transparent scale.3. 66, True. Almost all snakes can unhingetheir lower jaw.4. 31, False. They can swim well.S. 44, False. A rattlesnake gets a new seg-ment on its rattle every time it sheds,which may be three or four times per year.6. 78, True. Dozens of pairs of ribs sup-port a snake's body and enable it to move.7. 86, False. There are many more nonpoi-sonous snakes than poisonous ones.8. 95, True. Some snakes are afraid ofmice.9. 93, False. A snake may shed severaltimes in one year.10. 39, True. There are snakes on everycontinent except Antarctica.11. 32, True. It was a reticulated pythonthirty-two feet, nine-and-one-half inches inlength.

12. 59, True. A snake has a head, teeth,eyes, a mouth, a backbone, a heart, a stom-ach, lungs, a liver, intestines, and kidneys.

As a follow-up, you might want to sharealoud the humorous story The Snake WhoWas Afraid of People by Barry Polisar (Sil-ver Spring, MD: Rainbow Morning Music,1988).

No MAYBEs with Rabies1. yes, 2. no, 3. no, 4. yes, S. yes, 6. no,7. no, 8. no, 9. yes (even indoor cats getoutside sometimes), 10. yes.

As a follow-up, share these rabies facts:Rabies is caused by a virus. It is contractedonly by mammals. Meat-eating animals,including raccoons, foxes, and bats, aremost susceptible. Plant-eating animals, likesquirrels and opossums, can get rabies, butthat happens rarely.

Share these prevention facts: To preventthe spread of rabies, people need to immu-nize their dogs and cats routinely. A per-son who has been bitten by an animal whomay have rabies must have an immediatepost-exposure injection (an antirabiesshot). These shots are given in the arm,and a person may need five or six shotsover a period of time. You cannot tell if ananimal has rabies just by looking at it. Youshould never pet a wild animal. If the ani-mal has rabies and you have a cut on yourhand, the animal's saliva can get into thecut and you can get rabies. Some studentsmay believe that trapping and hunting helpstop the spread of rabies. Point out thatstudies by wildlife experts show that trap-ping and hunting animals does not stop oreven slow down the spread of rabies.Remind students to stay away from straypets and wild animals, to never make a petof a wild animal, and to tell parents or caregivers right away if they are ever bitten.

Ocean DwellersHave students follow the directions tomake their whale mobiles.

Rain Forest RoundupThe animals are a toucan, a frog, a butter-fly, and a monkey.

Sea Turtle MazeBefore students complete the puzzle, youmay want to help them identify the dan-gers to sea turtles pictured in it. Do thesethings harm only sea turtles? Have stu-dents name some other marine animalswho could be harmed.
