The next step was moving Ethereal to her new home. How bats live depends on what kind of bat they are.

“Tree bats live alone,” Amanda said. “They mind their own business. Crevice bats are social. They get sad when they are alone.”

“Ethereal is a crevice bat,” Amanda said. “She needs friends.”

Ethereal was placed in a cage with many other bats of her own kind. The other bats took a little getting used to.

So, Amanda gave Ethereal a safe place of her own—a basket on the floor of the huge cage. From the basket, she could watch the other bats. She could get out of the nest if she wanted to make new friends. She could stay in if she was feeling shy. Amanda didn’t rush Ethereal. She let her make friends when she was ready, so she wouldn’t be afraid.

Soon Ethereal got used to the other bats. She spent more and more time playing with them. She chattered in little squeaks and clicks and hisses, and flew with them. She was learning more about them. She was becoming part of the colony.
