Did you know there are bats in the Waitakere Ranges? Some lucky volunteers attended one of the Auckland Councils “Summer Bat Walks”, where the long-tailed bat (Chalinolobus tuberculatus) put on some stunning acrobatic displays. After sharing lots of amazing information on bats and a few good bat puns, the ranger took us for a night walk in Cascade Kauri Park. There the forest came alive, with no shortage of weta, glow worms, freshwater crayfish, and massive spiders!
