Importance of Bats

Importance of Bats

The newsletter from, "The Texas Gardener Seeds" said:
Put up a bat house to encourage the presence of these shy animals.


Bats consume 3,000 or more mosquitoes and other insects nightly,
and bats are less likely to be rabid than dogs are.


Need another reason?

Bats are responsible for up to 95 percent of the seed dispersal
essential to the regeneration of forests.


Our planet is populated with plenty of bizarre
and astonishing creatures.


Here are three from the Bat Family
..... without the need for resorting to fiction.





Sucker-footed Bat





Red-Winged Fruit Bat





Left-Winged Ding Bat
