SAVING THE RODRIGUES FRUIT BAT 🎥🎃🦇 There's nothing scarier to us than extinction... and these flying foxes were once the world's rarest bat. In the 1970’s, only 70 were left on the island of Rodrigues. Tropical cyclones, climate change and deforestation left their future hanging in the balance. We've been working with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation for over a decade to bring them back from the brink. Check out our new conservation film in the comments below for the full story 👇 🎥 Images

Rodrigues Fruit Bat, Noreen, is spending today's #WontLookWednesday focused on her pumpkin enrichment. 🦇🎃 Watch as she uses her thumbs to inspect the celery and other delicious snacks inside! Did you know that bats have thumbs? In fact, bats have ten fingers, just like us! While their thumbs can be used to grab things like food, as Noreen is showing us here, the rest of their fingers help make up their wings. 🦇✋ 📸: Maddie, Animal Keeper / Merchandise Coordinator #lubee #nonprofit #florida #c

Rodrigues Fruit Bat, Grace, is celebrating #ThirstyThursday with some yummy peach juice! 🦇🧃 Did you know that the juice is one of the best parts of fruit, at least according to fruit bats? When eating whole fruit, they will use their tongues to squish fruit against the roof of their mouth in order to get the most juice. They will often spit out many of the solids, like seeds and rinds, in their bat spats! 🦇 #animals #bats #cute #florida #nonprofit | Lubee Bat Conservancy

Rodrigues Fruit Bat, Grace, is celebrating the last day of Pollinator Week with a jackfruit snack. Did you know that bats are important pollinators? 🦇❤ Many tropical fruits and other plants important to people around the world are pollinated or “planted” by fruit-eating bats. Bats that eat pollen have long tongues whose tips resemble brushes. The small papillae help bats scoop up pollen from the flower. 🦇🌸 Thank you to everyone who stopped by Lubee yesterday for our Baturdays of Summer event

The weekend is finally here! Celebrate #Baturday with Rodrigues Fruit Bat, Grace! 🦇❤️ Keen eyes may have spotted the stuffed animals in the background of some of our photos and videos. Each habitat at Lubee has at least two of these "plushies," which the bats will interact with in a number of different ways. Because bats can use scent to communicte, scent marking is a large use of these stuffed animals. In this video, our animal care team had just rotated the plushies, which allows the bats to

Happy Bat Appreciation Day from our Rodrigues fruit bats! 🦇💕 Bats play a critical role in their ecosystems by acting as natural pest control, seed dispersers, and plant pollinators. Rodrigues fruit bats are an endangered species, but thanks to dedicated conservation efforts from Philadelphia Zoo, other AZA zoos, and conservation partners, their population in the wild has grown from just around 70 individuals in the 1970s to over 20,000 today! | Philadelphia Zoo

Happy Monday, y’all! From Miss Chessie, a rescued 23 year old Rodrigues fruit bat who is enjoying a piece of sweet potato, here at Bat World Sanctuary, just outside of Cool, Texas! Please respond with your location :) If you haven’t heard Chessie’s story... it‘s a crazy one! Chessie was rescued from the, now defunct, Organization for Bat Conservation in 2018. There, she was on display in a wire cage with little to no enrichment and only one friend. Eventually, the facility ran out of room, so Ch

Looking to pull off the greatest heist? We know a guy...🕵️🦇 Rodrigues fruit bats are specially adapted for hanging upside-down! Unlike other mammals, their hind legs are rotated backwards, making it easier to hang by their feet. Bats also have unique tendons in their feet that lock their toes in place, allowing them to hang without expending energy! | Philadelphia Zoo

A Sunday snack with Malayan Flying Fox, Bellatrix, who is showing off how fruit bats can eat more than just fruit! 🦇😋 We are often asked if the bats have a favorite food. The answer is yes, they do have favorites! However, just like with humans, those opinions will vary from bat to bat. Many times, juicy fruits like watermelon and cantalope tend to be favorites, but some bats seem to really enjoy their leafy greens and veggies! 🦇 #animals #bats #cute #florida #nonprofit | Lubee Bat Conservanc

October is Bat Appreciation Month — the perfect time to take a closer look at our Rodrigues fruit bats! 🦇 Their wings are truly a marvel of nature — a thin layer of skin stretched over long, flexible finger bones that form a hand built for flight. Each movement of those “fingers” allows them to steer and glide with remarkable control, while their small claws help them grasp branches and hang comfortably upside down. These gentle fruit bats are living proof of how beautifully adapted bats are fo

All month we'll be posting videos to give you insight (and hopefully appreciation) on our Rodrigues Island fruit bats. If you hadn't heard, our bats recently had four babies! This is especially exciting and important for the species, as they are an endangered AZA SSP (Species Survival Plan) species. With the addition of these babies, we're up to a total of 10 bats at Pueblo Zoo. Which means we host 4.5% of the t

We are having so much fun this Friday thanks to the generous support from our Wishlist Wednesday post last week. Open some boxes with Rodrigues Fruit Bat, Grace! 🦇🎁 Enrichment is an important part of the daily lives of the bats at Lubee. These "toys" and special snacks encourage the bats to use their brains and muscles in a variety of batty ways, plus they are fun!
