"Segeberger Kalkberg cave—about 50 km north of #Hamburg—is home to thousands of bats, including Natterer’s bats and Daubenton’s bats. The team documented 30 predation attempts and 13 kills—with rats either grabbing bats midflight or shortly after they landed. The behavior is all the more impressive given that the #rodents hunt at night, when they are effectively blind."

🦇 Bat keychains are the perfect year-round companion, but they’re especially appropriate for spooky season!
With little magnets in the tip of their wings, you can open them or close them as much as you want!

A perfect sweet baby angel little brown bat. They're being orally vaccinated for white nose syndrome, which is a fungal infection that plagues many tiny hibernating bats in America.

#introduction
(A new account for teaching/research stuff).
I teach wildlife and GIS courses at a field campus (State University of New York - College of Environmental Science and Forestry) in the Adirondack Park.
Most of my research focuses on bat conservation, bioacoustics, occupancy modeling, spatial analyses...but also involved in collaborative projects with trail cameras, bird research, etc.
Love to connect with other BIPOC in science.

Good people of the fediverse I have a question about bats and swallows.
We're building a carport. One end will be attached to a wall. The other end will rest on 6 brick pillars of about 3 meters high.
I have 2 nest boxes for barn swallows and 2 bat boxes.
I'd like to attach those to the pillars.
Now my questions:
1) Is it ok to put both up in the same area?
2) What would be the best side of the pillars to hang them from: facing in, out or sideways?
Thank you for your advice!
This is Giant Fruit Bat, known as a “flying fox.” Their wingspan can extend to four feet.
Photographer Hardik Shelat captured the beautiful animal in a rare daytime appearance. It came out of its nocturnal slumber to cool off in the intense Indian heat.
