One, two, three. It's happy pants.

One, two, three. It's happy pants.

Good day. And welcome to Happy Pants, a show specially for kids and especially for you. My name is Geraldine and my name is Joe. And together we're your happy pants team for today. Today my happy pants are a dark brown. This kind of brown makes me think of leather belts and shoes. Well, my happy pants are a light brown. Oh, a bit like the color of the earth. Mhm. And they feel kind of furry. Furry happy pants. That's a new one. Joe, have you checked your pockets? Oh not yet. Geraldine. Oh they're pretty heavy. Why don't you check yours while I try and get what's in mine? Out. Okay. Oh, look at this. I have a big black cape. And. Hang on a minute. What's this? Some pointy teeth. 000. I've managed to pull mine out. I have some juicy fruit in this pocket. And from the other one, I pulled out a handful of insects and a. Oh, a cricket bat. What on earth have capes and teeth and insects and fruit and a cricket bat got to do with each other. I have no idea. Oh, but we do know Happy Pants always gives us clues, I know. Why don't you try on the cape and your pointed teeth, Geraldine? 0000. You look like a vampire now. A vampire? Ah! that's it Joe. I look like a vampire. And you have a cricket bat. And fruit and insects. Mm. Fruit and insects. I think Happy Pants wants us to talk about a different kind of bat. The kind that flies. Bats, eat insects and fruits and are associated with vampires. Most bats have furry bodies and leathery wings. So today must be all about bats. Oh, yes. I think you're right, Geraldine. Yes. And do you know what? There's two groups of bats. Mega bats, which are large bats with big round eyes. And they eat fruit and drink nectar from flowers. And they're also called flying foxes because their face looks a little bit like a fox. And that microbats are smaller and eat insects. Do you know the smallest bat is called the bumblebee bat, and is about as big as the tip of your finger and weighs about as much as two jelly beans. And the biggest bat is the giant Golden Crown flying fox, and it is 1.5m from wingtip to wingtip. That's about one and a half really big steps across the room. Wow. Did you know that bats, along with insects and birds, are the only animals that can fly? And they're very important for our forests. Not only do they spread seeds from the fruit they eat, but pollen from flowers stick to their fur while they're feeding on nectar, and they are able to pollinate many trees over long distances.

Big red alert.

Big red alert.

Pollinate means to move or carry pollen to a plant, causing the seeds to fertilize in order to grow new plants. When they're born, the young microbats are called pups. The pups feed on their mums milk for about six weeks, but by the time they're three weeks old, the pups have already grown teeth and can feed on insects as well. They grow very quickly and are fully grown by the time they're two months old. The pups mum goes out 2 or 3 times a night hunting for food to feed herself and her pup, and she leaves her pup with all the other pups and they're looked after by another female bat. You know, it's a bit like daycare, except at night. Night care for young bats. And when the mum returns, she recognises her pup by the high squeaking noise it makes. The pup starts to fly at about three weeks old and at first its mum helps it find insects and learn which are good to eat. It doesn't take long, though, for the pup to learn to do all this by itself. And the megabats, or fruit bats, eat plant foods like nectar, fruit, leaves and bark, and once they've collected their dinner, fruit bats hang from the branch of a tree to eat it. They crush the fruit between their teeth and tongue to squeeze out the juice which they drink. Wow. Just imagine hanging upside down every night to eat your dinner. The fruit bats are also called flying foxes. And here in Australia we have four types of flying foxes. There's the spectacled flying fox, whose name comes from the markings around its eyes, making it look as though it's wearing glasses. And they like to eat rainforest fruits. Then there's the grey headed fox, and they're the biggest flying fox. And they like to eat nectar and pollen of our native gum trees. The black flying fox is found all the way from Western Australia to New South Wales. And lastly, there's the little red flying fox. These are the smallest flying foxes in Australia, and some adults only weigh about 300g. That's about as heavy as, oh, about six chicken eggs. And they're all very important for our forests. The seeds they drop from, the fruit they eat help to grow new trees and flowers. You might be lucky enough to see thousands of flying foxes hanging upside down in a eucalyptus tree during the day. But don't be surprised if you see them for a few days or weeks and then don't see any for a while. They move on from place to place looking for food, and they've done this for thousands of years. If you live in an area where there are flying foxes to help look after them, You can plant native shrubs and flowers in your garden so that they can feed on them. Keep your cat indoors at night and train your dog not to bark at or chase the bats. All this talk about fruit has got my mouth watering. Geraldine. Hmm. How about a fruity song to flap around to? Good idea. How about you find a space and flap around like a bat? To do this, stretch your arms out and pretend they're wings. Then spread your fingers out. That's it. Now just move your hands up and down. Okay, let's do it to the music. You can fly around from tree to tree and gather fruit and nectar to eat. That bat flying was fun. Hey, Geraldine, have you ever seen a bat flying around during the day? Well, I haven't. Probably because bats are asleep during the day. When they're not flying around at night, they roost in places like caves or under bridges, in trees, or sometimes even in people's roofs. Big word alert. To roost means to settle for a sleep. One of the things I love about bats is they sleep upside down. Their legs aren't very strong and they can't stand on the ground, so they hang upside down, gripping on with their sharp claws. They have special tendons in their legs that keep their toes curled and stop them from letting go when they fall asleep. If they are in danger or frightened, they can just let go and fly away. Big word alert. A tendon is a tough band that connects muscle to bone. Hey, Joe, if bats hang upside down. What do bats sing when it's raining? Um, I don't know. Raindrops keep falling on my feet. Oh, dear.

Oh, shush. Mom and dad, I'm trying to listen to Happy Pants.

Bat wings are made from two layers of skin that are stretched over its arms. And its four extra long fingers. The wings are very, very strong and reach all the way down to the bat's legs. The bat also has a thumb that sticks out the top of each wing. Each thumb has a claw which helps them to climb and clean themselves. Some bats have short, wide wings, and these bats fly slowly and are good at changing direction. That makes it easy for them to fly around trees. Other bats with long, narrow wings fly much faster and are good at flying long distances. When they're sleeping, bats wrap their wings around themselves to keep warm. A bit like a sleeping bag, or if it's very hot, they can flap them like a fan to cool down. Do you know bats are friendly creatures and they like to live together in groups? And these groups are called colonies or camps. And there can be as few as 30 or as many as thousands of bats living in a colony, and they're able to make a special smell, and they rub this special smell all over themselves and the other bats. And this way, all the bats in the colony will smell the same, and they can all recognize each other. A fun thing about Microbats is that they are great listeners. They can see, hear, smell and feel, but hearing is their most important sense when they hunt at night. The bat makes high pitched sounds as it flies around. The sound is too high pitched for our human ears to hear, and these sounds bounce off things like trees and houses and create echoes. The bat hears these echoes and makes a picture in its brain of where the things are and how big they are. This is called echolocation, and it's how the bats find their way around and hunt for food. But the MacRobert or flying foxes. The fruit eaters use their excellent sight and smell for flying and finding food. They have eyes with cones, which let them see things in colour and find their way around at night, so they don't need echolocation, and bats make the sound through their mouths, but when their mouth is full of food, they can't make the sounds. So some bats have solved this problem by making sound through their noses. Oh, um, can you make a sound through your nose, Geraldine? I don't know, Joe. I've never tried. Why don't you give it a go with me? Mm mm mm. Ah, this is hard. I don't think I can. How did you go when you tried? Were you able to make any noise through your nose? But what about vampire have bats. Are they real or just made up in storybooks? Oh, vampire bats are definitely real. They're found in Central and South America. Vampire bats feed on the blood of other animals, and they use their very sharp teeth to make two tiny holes in the sleeping animal and then lick the blood that flows out. They feed mostly on the blood of horses, pigs, and cows. So we humans needn't be worried about. Oh, I don't know. I'm not sure I like the sound of the vampire bat too much.

Yay! Story time.

Yay! Story time.

Today's story is all about a girl who thinks her neighbors might be vampires. It's called The Vampires Next Door, and it is written by Siggy Cohen and Patrick Corrigan. The mystery began when a girl known as Lea saw dozens of bats upside down in a tree. The tree stood alongside a house down the lane belonging to Horace, Drucilla and Shane. Our neighbors are vampires, said Lee to her dad, but he gave her a look like he thought she was mad. The first one to vanish was Eddie Caruthers. The next disappearance, the Beverly Brothers detectives arrived asking lots of strange questions, and some of the neighbors had crazy suggestions. Oh, the boogeyman got them, cried Fergal McNairy, wiggling his fingers and trying to look scary. The very next evening, the truth became clear when Lee felt a bite just below her left ear. She slapped her neck hard, heard an ouch sort of sound, and Horace, her neighbor, fell flat on the ground. He started to screech till his face became blue. How dare you attack me? I'm stronger than you. You'll be the next human that I dine upon. So all of the kids on the street will be gone. Well, after her neighbors bad tempered display, he sprouted some wings and he fluttered away. The very next morning, Lee rode to the deli and bought lots of garlic bread, fresh baked and smelly. She pedaled back home and started to eat, and she ate till her breath smelt much worse than her feet. At sunset she crept towards Horace's house and she peered through the keyhole as still as a mouse. From down in the cellar, she heard a weird sound, some hideous noises from under the ground. She went down a stairway, opened a door, and was shocked and amazed at the sight aside that she saw the cellar was teeming with dozens of bats with sharp, pointy teeth and pink party hats. Horace was singing a rock n roll song, and Shane, his great grandpa, was howling along. Drusilla was sipping what looked like red tea, and they froze on the spot when they recognized Lee. The vampires were startled and taken aback. In spine chilling voices. They shouted attack! They turned into bats as big as Lee's arm and circled her head as she tried to stay calm. Screeching and flapping, they flew at her face, but Lee stood her ground with great courage and grace. A bat tried to bite her. She heard it go slurp, so she let off her powerful garlicky burp. Oh.

Wow.

Wow.

23 bats fell stunned to the floor. So she burped once again and she dropped 20 more. The bats couldn't handle her garlicky smell as she burped. And she burped till the final bat fell. If you think for a bat, that's as bad as it gets. A ranger arrived with some very strong nets, and now there's a total of 72 vampire bats on display at the zoo and trapped in a cage where they'll always remain a Horus, Drusilla, and great Grandpa Shane. That was the vampires next door by Ziggy Cohen and Patrick Corrigan. And it was read by Joe. Even though they are spooky, vampires aren't real. And so there's no need to be scared of them. They're just made up and they've been around in stories for many, many years. And some fun, spooky facts about vampires are. Let's see, vampires have no reflection in the mirror, and they're scared of the sun because it can turn them into dust. So, like bats, they only come out at night and they can change into bats and fly. And they are very, very strong. They are ten times stronger than humans. And did you know a vampire can't come into your home unless you invite it in? It's fun to dress up as a vampire for fancy dress parties in Halloween. Vampires have black hair, dark eyes, and pale skin. They also have two very sharp teeth or fangs that stick out of their mouths, and they wear dark clothes. Oh, and very often a black cape like this one. They also have something called Arithmomania. Big word alert Arithmomania means the strong need to count all things around you. Speaking of Arithmomania. 000. Time to get our thinking caps on. If there were five bats in a cave and five more flew in, how many bats would there be in the cave? Oh, okay. Five bats plus five more is five, six, seven. Eight. Nine, ten. There would be ten bats in the cave. Yes. And now, if ten bats are roosting upside down in a cave and two flew away, how many bats would be left hanging upside down? Oh, um, tend to start with minus two is ten, minus two is eight. There would be eight bats left. Yes. Now, four bats have flown back home to join the eight roosting. How many do we have now? Okay, there are eight roosting. Plus four is eight. Nine, ten, 12. There are 12 bats in the cave. Oh, wonderful. Joe. And what about if they all flew away? How many bats would be left then? Geraldine. That's easy. If they all flew away, well, there would be none left. Of course. Yes. Well done. Joe. Oh, I need a stretch after that. Let's stretch our bat arms up high in the air and stand on our tippy bat toes reaching up high, high to the top of our cave. Then let out a big breath. Oh, and drop down, down, down and touch your toes once more. up up up. Oh, down down down. Why don't we have some stretching music? Oh, I feel so much better after a good stretch. Oh, but that's about all we have time for today. Oh, well, what have we done today? Well, we learned lots about bats, including that they sleep upside down and come out at night. Yes. And we had four big word alerts to pollinate, which means to move or carry pollen to a plant, causing the seeds to fertilize in order to grow new plants to roost, which means to settle or stay for a sleep tendon, which is a tough band that connects muscle to bone and arithmomania, which means a strong need to count all things around you. We also had a story about vampires. and we did some bad maths. If there was anything in today's programme you'd like to know more about, you can reach us on radio at Vision australia.org. Keep wearing those happy pants and we'll catch you next time.
