Bat

 Bat

 

Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera. With their forelimbs adapted as wings, they are the only mammals capable of true and sustained flight. Bats are more manoeuvrable than birds, flying with their very long spread-out digits covered with a thin membrane or patagium.

 

Bats are the most significant predators of night-flying insects. There are at least 40 different kinds of bats in the U.S. that eat nothing but insects. A single little brown bat, which has a body no bigger than an adult human's thumb, can eat 4 to 8 grams (the weight of about a grape or two) of insects each night.

 

Bats will pretty much chew any fruit you like into a wet pulp and it's glorious every time.

 

During the day bats sleep in trees, rock crevices, caves, and buildings. Bats are nocturnal (active at night), leaving daytime roosts at dusk. Upon leaving their roost, bat fly to a stream, pond, or lake where they dip their lower jaw into the water while still in flight and take a drink.

Galagoides_kumbirensis

 Galagoides_kumbirensis   is a species of dwarf galago native to Angola, and was named after western Angolan Kumbira Forest. Though 36 individuals of the Angolan dwarf galago were identified in September 2013, it was declared as a new species in 2017, and is now the nineteenth species of dwarf galago to be identified.   Previously unrecognized species of terrestrial mammals are being dis- covered at an ever-increasing rate as researchers expand their activities into new areas of forests and woodlands, and conduct extensive sur- veys   Which contradicts you know everything which is it. you explored everything and know at which rate species are dying or you havent and are still discovering not only new species but the actual population of said species that claim to exist. As you can see there is a lot of need for real scientists in the west and whole lot less lazy activists.

Bumblebee

 Bumblebee A bumblebee (or bumble bee, bumble-bee, or humble-bee) is any of over 250 species in the genus Bombus, part of Apidae, one of the bee families. This genus is the only extant group in the tribe Bombini, though a few extinct related genera (e.g., Calyptapis) are known from fossils. They are found primarily in higher altitudes or latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, although they are also found in South America, where a few lowland tropical species have been identified. European bumblebees have also been introduced to New Zealand and Tasmania. Female bumblebees can sting repeatedly, but generally ignore humans and other animals   They are generally very docile. They do not form swarms like other communal bees and they only sting when truly provoked.   Bumblebees are round and fuzzy; honeybees are smaller and thinner – it would be easy, in fact, to mistake them for wasps. ... Bumblebees are social, too, but not to the same extent. Where honeybees build hives, bumblebees live in
