On one of our afternoons off, we visited a facility called, The Bat Jungle. We learned some fascinating factoids that we know you’re dying to hear. So, without further adieu, here they are:
1. Mascara is made with bat guano.
2. Bats are most closely related to monkeys.
3. Bats have very good eyesight, hearing, and a sixth sense (echolocation).
4. Bats give birth to only one offspring per year that has a 50% mortality rate.
5. Echolocation: There is research indicating that blind people may use the same technique for navigation.
6. Most bats are small; however there are some in Indonesia with a 6 foot wingspan.
7. Bats are responsible for pollinating the Agave cactus, so without bats, no Tequila.
