Who else loves melon as much as our fruit bats!? Did you know that fruit bats are considered a very important part of most ecosystems because they are pollinators and seed dispersal units for a lot of fruiting plants! 70% of the worlds fruit is pollinated by bats! 🦇 Bats will eat the seeds of the fruits and eventually those seeds will make it out of the bat in their poop! 💩 Their poo then acts as fertiliser for the seed to begin its new life in an different area of the forest! 🌳 #bats #melon

Fruit bats thrive in a variety of habitats, from forest to savanna and from sea level to mountain, as long as they can find food and shelter. Some fruit bat colonies are home to more than a million individual bats. 📸: Zookeeper Cameron #BatAppreciationMonth https://bit.ly/2OQ76Hd | Minnesota Zoo
