🦇Happy !!! 🦇
Bats play a crucial role in our ecosystem as they are important pollinators and seed dispersers. They also help control insect populations and are therefore important for agriculture. Additionally, they are a key indicator of the health of our environment. Unfortunately, bat populations are declining due to habitat loss, climate change, and disease. It is important to care about bats and their conservation to maintain a healthy and thriving ecosystem.
Here’s a couple of photos of some bats I spotted while in Tortuguero, Costa Rica, the proboscis bat and tent making bat 🦇
(Side note- Facebook completely butchers the quality of photos 😞 )
