Yep, these furry flyers aren't just for Halloween. In fact #Spring is the perfect time to see bats emerging from hibernation

The Vulnerable Ryukyu #FlyingFox is threatened by habitat degradation, predation by dogs & cats, culling & entanglement in orchard nets. They are often perceived as pests that damage crops such as tankan oranges (🧵1/3) doi.org/j589

Their findings indicate that the large-billed crow causes more crop damage, that bat-farmer conflicts could seriously threaten the Ryukyu #FlyingFox & that more bat-friendly crop protections could aid #conservation efforts🦇

We ventured out this eve to detect bats and only found a Noctule bat.
Watch this space for future 🦇walks in collab with the local Bat Society 🖤

Bats silently support economies around the world. Eating insect pests of both agriculture & forestry, pollinating food plants (like those used in tequila production!) & dispersing seeds in tropical systems. Thank bats AROUND THE WORLD for the work they do. #BatAppreciationDay

Silver-haired Bats are amazing! With their beautiful silver high-lights & little doggy faces, we are just lucky to share the planet with them! Bonus is that they also eat tons of moths which helps out both agriculture & forestry! #ThanksBats! #BatAppreciationDay #BatsNeedFriends

We love to count bats! There is a bit of thrill watching bats drop & fly as they leave their bat house just after sunset. Count bats & submit data to our citizen science project! This info will be vital to monitor bat populations across Alberta. #BatAppreciationDay #AlbertaBats

BATS ARE BEAUTIFUL! Because they hide away & fly in the dark, we don't see them enough. But many species are stunningly beautiful. Bats are amazingly diverse. 1,462 species on the planet. #AppreciateBats #BatAppreciationDay #Bats

Two groups I'm struggling to find and photograph for 365Species: freshwater fish, and microbats.
20% of our mammal kin are bats. Flying foxes are the objective best, but we need some more.
Share bat pics if you have them!

Next in the #ValentinesDay vs. #CowHugDay (RIP) lineup is a not-quite-#IndiAves mammal whose love life would hit the moral police for a six.
In the West, bats = Halloween. But this flying fox is my nominee for India's National Valentine.

Did you know #bats aren't the only animals with the ability to #echolocate. #Cetaceans, #swiftlets, #shrews, and even #sharks all use forms of #echolocation. Join us on @batappreciation day for an 'Introduction to Echolocation'
