The Bats

July 25, 2010

Bats

This is very timely: the latest newsletter from The Texas Gardener’ Seeds said: Put up a bat house to encourage the presence of these shy animals. Bats consume 3,000 or more mosquitoes and other insects nightly, and bats are less likely to be rabid than dogs are. Need another reason? Bats are responsible for up to 95 percent of the seed dispersal essential to the regeneration of forests.

Our planet is populated with plenty of bizarre and astonishing creatures. Here are three from the Bat Family …… without the need for resorting to fiction.

Sucker-footed Bat     Red-Winged Fruit Bat   Left-Winged Ding Bat

So 2 out of 3 Bats have a useful purpose!

    17I was  asked to pass this on, and I will gladly do  so.      Will  you??? 16The  only thing harder than being a  Soldier....Is  loving one. 15....to  be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to  have    a new baby in the  house. 14....to  just walk away when someone says they only get  two    weeks of vacation a  year. 13....to  be civil to people who complain about their  jobs. 12....to  remain calm when his daughter complains about  having    to walk the  dog. 11....to  control his frustration when a colleague gripes  about    his coffee being  cold. 9....to  keep from laughing when anxious parents  say      they're  afraid to send their kids off to summer  camp.
