We need to get out !”My son finally emerged in his underpants. We looked around the room. I knew that we should hide under a table to stop things from falling on us and stay away from glass. Unfortunately, none of our furniture was designed for hiding under. “Should we go into the garden?” Zac asked. No,trees could fall on us! I said.

The bat deaths are affecting the quality of human life in many ways. Without bats, there is an increase of many insects. And thats only going to get worse over time if some way cant be found. he said.One theory is that some bats are no longer returning to caves to avoid getting sick.
