It is bat appreciation week, and we're going batty over these fun facts about bats! 🦇 Did you know they're the only flying mammals? We call baby bats pups (just like our own best friends). Bats are natural insect controllers; one bat can devour 1,000 mosquitoes/hour! They are also responsible for pollinating over 300 different fruits, including bananas, mangoes, and avocados! 🌙 #Bats #BatAppreciationWeek #BatFacts #NatureFacts #WildlifeWonders #BRZoo | BREC's Baton Rouge Zoo
