A friend visiting me and I went Lincoln Park Zoo to see all the pretty animals. We were looking at the bats and ignoring the families near us. There are some cone-shaped pieces that hide the water bottles for the bats. It's not obvious at first but after a while you see a bat partake in a swig and your curiosity is fed.
Of course you speculate at first, and this one mother with a couple of small kids had this theory:
"Maybe that's where they lay their eggs."

Quick Biology review: Bats are mammals. Mammals have live births. There are no eggs involved.
Obviously, some people need to go back to junior high science class.
Jr. High? Sounds like she needs one of those soft baby books with a huge "B is for BAT" drawings.
