    I assume that’s all flying foxes, and not just one that ate a bad mango.

          Mango seeds are pretty large. I would not want to pass one, myself, lol.

          Some seeds will pass through digestion, for sure, but not mango seeds lol. Lots of flying and arboreal animals also deposit seeds without actually having to digest them as they just drop them after the rest is eaten.

    little known fact, bat spelled backwards is tab and that was the influence for the Tab key on the computer keyboard because you can bat backwards

Bats are cool

Bats are the only true flying mammals. There are over 1,400 species of bats, and they can be found on nearly every part of the planet. Not only are they cute, they are also important…

Studying how bats use echolocation has helped scientists develop navigational aids for the blind. Without bats’ pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control we wouldn’t have bananas, avocados, mangoes, agave, or cacao… that’s right, bats bring us tequila and chocolate!

Found a bat in need of help?

  • Do not handle it with bare hands! Bats can carry rabies.

  • Here’s a map of worldwide rescues and temporary care instructions.

  • Bats should never be kept as pets: Here’s why.

Celebrate bats with us!

Our community’s mascot is Baxter. Baxter is an Egyptian fruit bat that was cruelly kept alone and confined to a small cage for 12 years before being rescued by a bat sanctuary. You can read the full story by clicking on his name.
