Recently we were asked about pups and how often they are born so we decided to create this spiffy little chart to show what Australian Microbats get up to all year long ❤️🦇

Today is Threatened Species Day.
Losing bats means losing natural pest control, essential seed dispersal, & vital pollination.
But there’s hope! Every rescued bat, protected habitat, & educated person makes a difference.
Together we can turn the tide ❤️🦇 #bats #threatenedspeciesday
