My Nonprofit Reviews

As busy humans, it's easy to forget that EVERYTHING in the world is inter-connected. I recently got an eloquent, fun, educational and entertaining reminder at The Bat Zone at The Cranbrook Institute of Science, in Bloomfield Hills, MI. I took my son there to see the animals and was delighted by the over 150 that call it their forever-home.They have a two-toed sloth, bearded dragons, skunks, sugar gliders, flying squirrels, and (naturally) bats from all over the world, including the largest species! Kamilah was SO cute and had a wing-span of over 5 feet! The presenters were well-spoken, incredibly knowledgeable and plain-old-fun. We learned a ton: Did you know, without bats we wouldn't have tequila?! Yikes! While these animals were cool to see, it's important to know that they are all injured or abandoned and need permanent care for the rest of their lives: That's a lot of mouths to feed! What a cool place… Can't wait to go back for another visit!
