Pavilon netopýrů: A Glimpse into the Nocturnal World

Step into the captivating world of the Pavilon netopýrů at Zoo Olomouc, where night turns into day, and the secrets of nocturnal animals are revealed. This unique pavilion is home to several species of bats, including the rare Rodrigues flying foxes, allowing visitors to observe these fascinating creatures up close. The pavilion features a reversed lighting regime, creating an environment where bats are active during the day and rest during the night. This allows visitors to witness the bats in full flight, soaring overhead in a simulated night sky. The exhibit also includes other nocturnal animals, providing a comprehensive look into the world of creatures that thrive in the darkness. The Pavilon netopýrů was constructed in 1999 and has undergone renovations to enhance the visitor experience and improve the living conditions for the animals. The exhibit is designed to mimic the natural habitats of the bats, providing them with a comfortable and stimulating environment. Informative displays throughout the pavilion offer insights into the behavior, ecology, and conservation status of these incredible animals. In addition to bats, the pavilion also houses other interesting animals such as the long-nosed potoroo, a small marsupial native to Australia. These creatures add to the diversity of the exhibit and provide visitors with a broader understanding of nocturnal wildlife. The Pavilon netopýrů is a must-see attraction for anyone interested in the natural world, offering a memorable and educational experience for visitors of all ages.
