Do NZ Bats Sing? Could they be the hidden songbirds of the night?

This fascinating talk explores sound recordings that suggest Pekapeka not only vocalise to attract mates or defend territory, but may even harmonise for the sheer joy of social connection.

Join us to uncover the surprising musical lives of these elusive creatures and what their songs reveal about bat behaviour.

This talk is part of our Speaker Series: Stories of Our Native Species. Check out other events in the series at: www.kaipatiki.org.nz/our-work/speaker-series
