ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** Hello, everyone! I have two questions: #1: Does anyone know of a source for getting Fruit Bats? #2: Does anyone know of a good way to make - or better yet fake a "rainforest-style" cabin (particularly the palm-frond thatch roof - without using palm fronds) This all relates to a temporary exhibit we're building on the rainforest. We're getting all of the permits for the critters we desire, but we don't have a definite source for obtaining fruit bats. Ideally we would borrow the fruit bats January - May, although we might be willing to purchase them depending on the price - particularly if we could sell them back to the originators at some percent (so we would essentially rent them). Thank you for all of your help. -William William Katzman "The important thing is to never stop questioning." -A. Einstein Director of Exhibits "Are you sure about that Al?" -His wife.
