Make a short video that debunks myth about animal behaviour.

A common myth is that mother birds will abandon their chicks if touched by humans. This misconception is based on the belief that birds can detect human scent. However, most birds have a poor sense of smell and are unlikely to abandon their young due to human contact. In reality, the disturbance caused by human presence near the nest is far more likely to lead to abandonment than touching the chicks themselves.

Another common belief is that bats are blind. While some bats may have poor eyesight, many can see well and rely on echolocation to navigate and hunt at night.
