October is Bat Appreciation Month! This month is dedicated to spreading information about bats and their contributions to nature.
Flying foxes (genus Pteropus), the species you can see here at the Topeka Zoo, are the largest bats with some attaining a wingspan of 5 feet. They are a part of the Old World fruit bats, and mostly use their sight and hearing rather than echolocation to navigate. In short- the term ‘blind as a bat’ doe not apply here!
🌳🦇 Fruit bats are significant in forest regeneration - when they fly from tree to tree consuming fruit, they also distribute seeds & pollinate!

Dr. Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionized science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world.
One day. One cause. Countless animals helped.
Be there at midnight to give back to the zoo you love 🐵💚
