Another post before I call it quits tonight. This episode has Chris and Martin travelling around in Australia searching for animals that are most active during the night. More specifically, they want to find a fruit bat called the flying fox. They eventually find them but then want to race the bats as the animals fly off in search of their nighttime meal. Needless to say, the brothers can't keep up and have to rest, finding a tree-kangaroo in the trees. Earlier they saw a brush-tailed possum fighting with a kangaroo. Later on, they try to mimic the tree-kangaroo's jumping from 50 ft ability but land in water, knocking out transmission signals to the Creature Club. It is restored, and the action eventually switches to the brothers being in a bat cave where they find Australia's only carnivorous bat, the ghost bat. The show touches on why bats are so important to the creature ecosystems of this world and why we humans are often needlessly afraid of bats. Great episode!
