little forest bat
hese extremely cute, flying balls of fluff are found in various forest types of south-eastern Australia, and sometimes don’t emerge from their roosts for several weeks if it’s a bit nippy out. (We can relate!) While the bats probably don’t have a cooking roster (they snack on flying insects by locating prey with sound and trapping them on their wings), they are rather fond of communal living and roost in colonies of up to 50 bats in with disturbances. They’re also pretty happy to live in whatever habitat is available to them if there’s no woodland around. This is probably why they aren’t considered endangered – even though they only get freaky once a year and each bat produces a single baby in the summer.
