Summary

The Bat Cave at the National Zoological Park opens to the public, amidst hype for the new movie "Batman." The exhibit's interpretive graphics are supported by a grant from Warner Communications. The "cave," in the ground level of the Lion and Tiger Hill exhibit, features three species of bats whose squeaks are amplified into the public area.
