Did you know this about bats?

Did you know this about 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...


Sucker-footed Bat

 

Red-Winged Fruit 
Bat

 

 



Left-Winged Ding Bat 

So 2 out of 3 Bats have a useful 
purpose!

If we could just train him to eat mosquitoes.. Or 
do anything useful...
