Nothing goes unnoticed by little old Darius, a rescued Jamaican fruit bat, especially when the treat bowl arrives. Darius is a 20 year-old Jamaican fruit bat. He is elderly (well okay, ancient) so has lost most of his fur. He is living his best life at Bat World Sanctuary, in a warm enclosure with other little baldies just like him.

Happy Bat appreciation day! 🦇 Meet the Jamaican fruit-eating bat! These adorable frugivores eat figs and other tropical forest fruits along with pollen, nectar, and a few insects, and the pulpy layer around some nuts. When they carry the fruits away to eat them, they drop the nuts which disperses the seeds for future trees. They can be found in a variety of habitats from central Mexico to Paraguay and Brazil, and also the Bahamas, Antilles, Trinidad, Tobago, and Key West, Florida. Bats play a c

When Tink arrived, she was, as is heartbreakingly common for bat pups whose mothers have died in childbirth- still clinging to her mom’s body. Tink was hand-raised at Bat World and despite the traumatic even

Did you know Jamaican fruit bats are a species of leaf-nosed bat characterized by a leaflike shape on their nose, this feature helps bats navigate, hunt, and avoid obstacles by using echolocation. Echolocation occurs when a sound wave is emitted, then bounces off objects and returns an echo that provides information about the object’s distance and size! This helps Jamaican fruit bats navigate even in complete darkness.🦇❤️ | Bat World Sanctuary

Treat time with the Jamaican fruit bats! Our Jamaican fruit bats were rescued from the terrible conditions in zoos and research facilities. We wanted to show you how happy they are to get treats from us everyday. Don’t worry this is just a short snippet, all of our Jamaican fruit bats got their fair share of melon treats and none were left out of the fun. 😊 | Bat World Sanctuary
