About the Bat

Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight. These nocturnal creatures use echolocation to navigate and hunt in the dark, emitting high-pitched sounds and listening to the echoes. There are over 1,400 species of bats, ranging from the tiny bumblebee bat to the large flying foxes. Bats play crucial roles in ecosystems as pollinators, seed dispersers, and insect controllers. Despite their often misunderstood nature, they are fascinating and beneficial animals.
