Insect eating bats will eat nearly their body weight in bugs in a single night. One study of the bats in Bracken Cave in Texas found that their digestive systems and fruit are designed so the seeds of the fruit are not damaged by digestion. The result is the bats plant all kinds of fruit-bearing trees and bushes sustaining beneficial plant populations. This is especially true in desert and rain forest areas. A lmost all of the negative stories and fears about bats are untrue.
Some bats can see a bug the size of a rice grain by starlight.
Our best military night scopes are needed for man to see that well. Fear of rabies is an overstated problem. Only 24 people are believed to have contracted rabies from a bat in the whole history of the United States, and the common brown bat has never given rabies to anyone even though it is our most common bat. Bats do not get snarled in women's hair and will avoid contact with a human if they possibly can. B ats are incredibly designed.
