Why Wild Animals Should Be Named

Recently, zoos, aquariums, and marine parks, now appreciate the influence naming an animal has on the animal itself and on people. Also, these places are beginning to realise how naming an animal can positively influence how the visitors interact with them as well as those that tend to the animals. It has become common for zoos to hold events or contests to name newly born animals. Many people now refer to these animals by their names or nicknames before their species. As such, naming animals whether wild or domesticated is important. Naming animals should be done properly and with careful consideration whether we are naming a pet or a wild animal at the zoo or game park. Naming a pet or a wild animal is important especially when it comes to unlocking our empathy towards them. By naming a pet or other wild animal, we create a distinction between a generalized animal to an individualized companion or even a friend. For the same reason it is not surprising that our pets and wild companions easily gained access to our affection and empathy that we normally reserved for our own kind once we named them. Therefore, naming your pet or bat will have the same effect. You should consider your bat as one of your family members that needs a name.

Bats Behavioural Attributes

Bats are nocturnal creatures that mostly fly at dawn and dusk. They also fly very quickly plus they can make really fast manoeuvres. These flying mammals live together in large roosts during their winter hibernation and migration. When fall and winter months come, many bats breed so that the offspring are born in the late spring that way the births are in line with the return of insect prey. The insect-eating bats hunt using a certain type of natural sonar called echolocation. They do this by emitting a high-frequency sound which cannot be detected by people that bounces off surrounding objects. When the sound hits an object, or an insect, it bounces back to the bat’s pronounced ears and indicates to the the bat an audible map for the shape, distance, as well as the location of any nearby objects. Everything takes place so quickly that a bat can make it look so instant. The echolocation system of a bat is so advanced and precise that to this day scientists study bats so that they can make sonar equipment for ships.
