A short while again, there was a rather long discussion about Bonaire's cave and bats. This discussion actually stimulated many private inquiries for more information on our furry little night creatures.

BATS

Susan, I showed your post to my wife, and she said: "If you even imagine, in your dreams, that you are going to put a &#$%*~# dead bat in MY freezer, you are out of your mind!" (She said that in Portuguese, but you get the drift!)

Hi--I had to admit, I laughted at your posting, but believe it or not, we (the Bat Action Team) have been told about one already! Tell your wife, it's okay with us--she has an exemption!

I have just read an article in a Caribbean travel magazine re. Bonaire. It was a good article, until they tried to get into a cave. They described crawling through the bat guano. I wonder if they realize the danger they put themselves in.

In what coordinate system will the location of the bat caves and other bat homes 'as molossus molossus pygmaeus is an urban dweller" be presented? I might suggest something that is easily taken from GPS receivers and can be mapped on a more worldwide coordinate system.

By Susan at Bon Bini Divers on Friday, September 29, 2000 - 8:40 am: |
Hi Lonnie--We ARE using GPS in the mapping of the cave systems, so that it will be highly accurate for all purposes. Then these coordinates are transferred to a central map system (with extreme detail) of the island.

Susan,

Hi Glen, currently we are using handheld units, which give us an accuracy of up to 3 meters/10 feet. Somtimes, it is a little less, but in no way less than 10 meters, 30 feet.

TKS, Susan.

Forgive me, but what is half a cave?
|
By Glen Reem on Thursday, October 5, 2000 - 6:41 pm: |
I also wonder at 'half a cave'. Ah, scientists.

No problem! I have already spoken with the Bonaire Reporter to see if I can get the photos, too!
