The world’s more than 1,400 bat species play vital roles in ecosystems, from eating insects, to pollinating plants, and dispersing seeds. Bats are connected to humans and ecosystems in many ways, and all are affected when one link is removed from the chain. | Bat Conservation International

Some people find bat wings a little creepy but when you look at them, they are an absolute marvel of nature. Bat wings are not dissimilar to human hands in that there are four fingers and a thumb. With elongated finger bones that are highly modified for flight and tough, stretchy wing membrane that feels like the skin on a human eyelid, flying-fox wings are perfected adapted to a life in the air. Any flying-fox by itself through the day is in trouble. Don’t touch but please call 0488 228 134 for
