Unlike insectivorous microbats that seek out dark places, megabats like Australian flying-foxes are sun worshippers. The vitamin D in sunlight helps prevent Rickets in rapidly growing bones and sunlight also ensures that fungal issues don't develop on vulnerable wings. It is lovely to sit at a colony and watch tiny babies hanging on to their mother's fur, flapping their little heads off. However, as our young orphans in care spend much of their time wrapped and in bed, we have to be conscious of

MICROBATS AND ECHOLOCATION 🦇🔊 Microbats are nocturnal, and rely on echolocation for flying around at night and hunting insects. The bats emit a form of radar as a high-pitched sound. The sound is at a frequency outside of the range of human hearing. The sound waves are created in the bat's voice box, and are emitted from the mouth or the nostrils. The echo comes back to the bat and helps it to understand how far away an object is and how big the object is. Take a listen to the video and you ca

Microbat Species
Welcome to our first species feature! This is where we highlight one of our Australian bat species. For our first feature we have an eastern horseshoe bat, a species found all along the east coast of Australia. This species traditionally roosts in caves but has adapted well to sheltered culverts and old mine tunnels. They have this lovely appendage on their nose called a nose leaf. This helps refine their echolocation as they search for insects to eat. Echolocation is where microbats produce a p

It’s not just flying fox pups that are in their birthing season Most species of micro bats are also having their babies around this time of year. Although we don’t get near as many orphaned microbats as we do flying foxes, we do still get some come into care. Unlike flying foxes which at full term as born furred and with their eyes open, microbats are born without fur and eyes closed in many species as well (with a few exceptions) They are tiny by comparison and require specialised care to ensur

Releasing some rescued Microbats tonight out near Boorooban NSW, AUSTRALIA. 🦇🦇🦇❤️😍 Microbats are essential in Australia, controlling insect populations, including pests and mosquitoes, and supporting ecosystems through seed dispersal and pollination. They reduce the need for pesticides, but habitat loss and other threats highlight the need for their conservation. #australia #wildlife #fauna #reels #bats #microbats #nature #earth | Mick Fullerton Wildlife
