Only 2 species of bats in the world have a studbook managed conservation programme. These are the Rodrigues and Livingstone’s Fruit Bat, both originating right here at Durrell! The Livingstones fruit bat is the rarest type of fruit bat in the world. Their adorable faces and Disney-esque ears are always loved by visitors! However, their situation in the wild is increasingly precarious. Another post from our partners over at Bat Conservation International will tell you more about the crucial field work which is done to protect them. #DurrellTeam #fruitbats #Pteropus #MegaChiroptera #flyingfox #Comoros
