#nature Everyone knows to protect the bees because they pollinate flowers--but bats do it, too! Just look at this little guy COVERED in pollen! He is best böi. In fact, bats carry significantly more pollen in their fur compared to other pollinators. At least 500 species of flowers in 67 plant families rely on bats to survive. Bats are essential to our ecosystem!
Thanks to my best friend, I’m able to not be terrified of the critters like I once was.

@see_the_sus I've always thought they were fascinating. I had a How & Why book on bats when I was a little kid. It was the start of a lifelong fascination with them.
