Yellow-winged Bats (Lavia frons) are #AmazingBats - they "sit & wait" for insect prey to fly past then zip out to catch dinner (like a flycatcher/bird). They also have gorgeous yellow wings, huge ears & and awesome noseleaf. #CelebrateBatDiversity!
#DYK that a single little brown bat can consume up to 1,000 insects in an hour, weighs 10 gramsβββabout the weight of two nickels - and when hibernating can stop breathing for almost an hour! #AmazingBats #BatWeek
Big thank you to @BrumBats for an excellent evening of Pipistrelle, Soprano Pipistrelle and even a brown long eared bat. Loved the enthusiasm. Highly recommend. Thanks Chris and Mike. #amazingbats #batwalk #lovewhereyoulive
Not everyone appreciates just how much #BatBiodiversity we have in BC! Officially we have 15 species but there are a couple we have heard (but not captured). They vary in size from tiny 4.5g small-footed bats to our largest 24+g hoary bats! #AmazingBats #BatsNeedFriends #BCBats
NOTHING beats the head wobbles & ear twitches of a Rhinolophid! Good golly but they are cute! We just need to overlay an audio track of their ultrasonic peeps slowed down for hu-mahn ears... #LoveTheseBats #AmazingBats
Yes, yes, yes! This week's tweets are all about the greater horseshoe bat. Those head wobbles and ear/nose twitches are focusing echoes so the bat can work out what is going on. Chapter 5 of our book "Black Ops and Beaver Bombing" is all about these beauties. @wiltsbg #bats
The more they study bat wings the more interesting the story! Bats are amazing! And we have so much to learn from them! #AmazingBats #BatWings
New paper in @AnatRecord from the laboratory @Bats_at_Brown shows distinct clustering of sensory hairs on bat wings, may sense airflow, and positioned near membranous wing muscles! https://t.co/SjyIO9Lqbh
There is nothing more glamorous in biological field work than crawling under spider-occupied bridges to scrape bits of bat guano into paper envelopes...FOR SCIENCE! But, wow, we are finding some amazing things with bat π©. This project is going great! #AmazingBats
While the disease is only contagious to bats, the ecological impacts could affect everyone. @wcscanadabats @albertabats program has a project in the prairies looking at bridge sites, which tests guano or fecal samples for the fungus. https://t.co/wxOU0Ghjy0
They are often found in large social groups in old forts and palaces.

Vampire bats are so amazing. They share food with buddies (not just family) & have evolved to live on a really poor quality diet. Notable too is that only 1 of the 3 species feeds on mammals; the other 2 tend to just feed mainly on birds! #VampireBats #AmazingBats
Scientists figure out how vampire bats got a taste for blood https://t.co/Ry1Z0tObnF
Bracken Cave is truly one of the world's natural wonders. The largest concentration of mammals in the world - up to 20million bats midsummer who literally eat TONS of insects each night. #AmazingBats #BatWeek2021
can bats take off from a flat surface? looks like that's a yes from Paul the pip π¦π¦π¦ #LoveBats #BatCare #BatRescue #BatRehabilitation #Bats #AmazingBats #SkyPuppies #WeeDogsWithWings
Did you know? Bats shiver to heat their body up before they fly. Look at this wee pipistrelle see how his wee body is shaking π¦π¦π¦ #LoveBats #bats #AmazingBats
@riskindan @JulieTheBatgirl @GiveBatsABreak @BatResearch @bigbrownbatmaro @NerdyBatLady @jonrflanders @girlborealis @IroroTanshi @nycbat For those who want further details, here is the "Legs" section of "The biology of bats", a brilliant and comprehensive book by G. Neuweiler.

and Rhinolophus species always have bright ideas ....
What is your favourite?
Any nice picture of a Rhinolophus species?
Any nice Rhinolophus story?
Would be great to also hear from Africa and Asia where most Rhinolophus species are.

Bats have done more good for humans and Earth than humans have done for bats and Earth.
Let's break even.

Bat movie. STUNNING/SPLENDID free film about Greater horseshoe bats (in EN - DE - ES - PT - IT - FR). A must see, even if you are just remotely interested in bats. https://t.co/uHahWLiSNO

#AmazingBats ! #DYK that hundreds of cultivated plant species
depend on #bats for pollination?
@IPBES @rodrigomedellin @MerlinsBats @4Apes @UNBiodiversity
@Bats_Chiroptera the quantity they can eat in one night of pesky things like mosquitoes and midges. Thank you π¦! #AmazingBats
Great work to better understand the astonishing morphological and dietary diversity in the Phyllostomidae. Would be interesting to compare this with the Rhinolophidae nose-leaf (and its evolution [very conserved in the >105 Rhinolophus species]). #AmazingBats #bats #Chiroptera
Congratulations former lab PhD student Dr. @LeithLeiserMill on the publication of a major Dissertation chapter! In this paper, we present the first 3D geometric morphometric study of the nose leaf and pinnae across phyllostomid #bats 1/3

#bats can:
1. live 10 times longer than expected given their body size.
2. fly,
3. hibernate
4. "see in the dark" (i.e. echolocate)
5. resist/tolerate many viruses without symptoms
...and many more.
RT and name another bat adaptation you like or find astonishing! #AmazingBats
