Day 9 #BatMas: Eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis) 🦇🌎🧪
While most bats species give birth to only one pup per year, eastern red’s give birth to about 3 pups on average – with the most being 5 pups! The pups will stay with their mom until they’re weaned at about 1 month of age.

Day 8 #BatMas: Sulawesi fruit bat (Acerodon celebenesis) 🦇🌎🧪
A species found in Indonesia & classified by the IUCN as Vulnerable due to unstainable levels of hunting. They're frugivores, feeding mainly on coconuts and breadfuits – but also act as pollinators for these plants!

As the weather gets consistently cooler and/or more miserable the #bats are tucking themselves away for hibernation. But, unlike bears, they don't typically sleep the entire winter away, typically waking periodically to adjust position, change roosts, or for a drink and snack in milder periods 🦇

Day 3 #BatMas: Ghost-faced bat (Mormoops megalophylla)🦇🌎🧪
A species with a VERY distinctive face due to flaps of skin, a poorly developed nose, large round ears & red/brown fur that darkens as they age. They roost in large colonies but stay about 15cm from one another!
