Some Bats Are Good And Others, No So Good
This is very timely: the latest 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
So 2 out 3 Bats have a useful purpose!
