🦇 Fun Fact Friday 🦇 Did you know that our straw-colored fruit bats are some of the largest bats in Africa? With wingspans stretching up to 3 feet, they’re sometimes called “flying foxes”!

Kasanka bat migration- Between October and December each year, about 10 million straw-colored fruit bats descend into a tiny patch of evergreen swamp forest inside Kasanka National Park, Northern Zambia. This natural phenomenon is unique only to Kasanka and lends itself to some truly astonishing birdlife sightings. #ZambiaTourismDestination #VisitZambia #DestinationZambia #TravelZambia Credit-Bwana_Jimmy_productions | Zambia Tourism

🦇🍬Animal Feature: Straw-Colored Fruit Bats In honor of the spooky month, we'd like to feature 2 of our "candy" bats, Nougat and Twizzler! As you can see, they especially love melon, grapes, and bananas. Did you know: eating heavy foods can make it harder to fly! To avoid this, they will chew their fruit, slurp up the juices, and spit out the pulp and seeds. By dropping seeds throughout the flights, they help make sure the forest continues to grow! Be sure to come visit them in the Discovery Ce

Our retired straw colored fruit bats are enjoying the puzzle feeders that our supporters donated. This is a great way to engage their curiosity. Bats need enrichment regardless if they are larger fruit bats, or our smaller insectivores. They are intelligent and curious. We are truly thankful for our generous donors ❤️ #pabatconservationandrehabilitation #pabatconandrehab #africanstrawcoloredfruitbat #eidolonhelvum | Pennsylvania Bat Conservation and Rehabilitation

All of our retired African straw colored fruit bats are geriatric, many missing teeth due to old age and previous injuries. One fruit bat in particular, our sweet Neptune is missing all of his teeth, he also is missing his lower lip due to an older injury. This makes it a bit challenging for him to not only eat but consume his food as quickly as his roost-mates. As Neptune is always the first to greet us in the evening, eagerly anticipating dinner, we decided to give him his own dinner box. Insi

Sunrise in the legendary Kasanka National Park, Zambia. Each year, 10 million straw-coloured fruit bats gather here to feed on a fruit bonanza triggered by the first rains. Although very capable flyers, they are vulnerable to eagle predation in the daytime. At sunrise, having spent the night feeding, they rush back into the saftey of the roost. It’s pretty unbelievable how many bats can cram into a relatively small patch of forest. Check out @kasankatrust to learn about the people fighting to pr

Story Behid Bats At 37 Military Hospital In Accra The Bats at the 37 military hospital are a colony of an estimated 1 million straw-coloured fruit bats living in the 37 Military Hospital area of Accra, Ghana. A local legend surrounds this group of animals, saying that a long time ago, a chief from a town in eastern Ghana, Kyebi, was admitted to the hospital accompanied by megabats. He died but the bats never left the area and are still waiting for him to leave the hospital. #iLoveGhana 🇬🇭 | Gh
