Upcoming Lessons

October 23rd @ 1:00pm eastern

Did you know Little Brown Bats and Southern Resident Killer Whales have more in common than meets the eye? Both are mammals. Both use echolocation to hunt and navigate. Both are species at risk in coastal British Columbia.

Join us at 1pm Eastern/10a Pacific on October 23rd for Sight by Sound: The Secret Language of Echolocation, part of a free online learning series from Parks Canada and Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants.

23 octobre @ 14 h (heure de l'Est)

Saviez-vous que la petite chauve-souris brune et l’épaulard résident du sud ont plus en commun qu’il n’y paraît? Les deux sont des mammifères. Les deux utilisent l’écholocalisation pour chasser et naviguer. Les deux sont des espèces en péril dans la région côtière de la Colombie-Britannique.

Joignez-vous à nous le 23 octobre à 11h (heure du Pacifique) pour Vision en chantant : le langage secret de l’écholocation, qui fait partie d’une série d’apprentissage gratuite en ligne de Parcs Canada et Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants.
