With so many common misconceptions about bats circulating at the moment, leading ecologists at Ecology by Design have decided to create an interactive quiz to debunk the facts from fiction associated with these divisive creatures.

Bats are commonly found in the UK and are a protected species by international and domestic legislation; namely, the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981 and Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. With bats receiving plenty of criticism due to their, yet unfounded, links to COVID – 19, you can now put your knowledge to the test.

Ecologists and conservationists are continually fighting the corner for bats, ensuring their environments remain undisturbed through rigorous bat surveys and detailed assessments. With misconceptions about their behaviour, habits and characteristics, you can now find out how much you really know.

Are bats blind? Are bats dangerous?

Put your knowledge to the test with Ecology by Design’s myth buster quiz.
