Bats have long captured the imagination - they've inspired myths, legends, folklore and story for generations. To celebrate the creativity bats inspire, we ran a live Bats and Creativity webinar featuring a draw-along with professional illustrator and bat enthusiast Maisy Inston.
If you missed the webinar or would like to watch again, you can see the draw-along here.
Grab a pen or pencil, a sheet of paper and give it a go! You'll be surprised at what you can create - and at some of the fascinating facts about bats you'll learn along the way.
Drawing bats is a great way to learn more about their anatomy and physiology. It's also a very mindful exercise - and a great way to learn a new skill if drawing isn't usually your 'thing'.
