My World#15 Monfort Bat Cave, Samal, Davao del Norte
Home to almost 2,000 fruit bats, Monfort Bat Cave is considered the largest single colony of fruit bats in the world. Bats are mostly seen as scary, unlovable mammals but for environmentalists, they are considered playing an important role in the ecosystem. Fruit bats help spread out the seeds of the fruit trees keeping the biodiversity of a place alive.
Monfort Bat Cave is being managed by Monfort Conservation Park. It is located at Island Garden of Samal, Davao del Norte.

I like your post, the little bats are so cute.
Oh my! You are right many of us find them scary, but they don't look so bad just hanging out and sleeping. Thanks for sharing : )
ewww! magka-goose bumps jud ko everytime makakita ko og nag-kumpol. murag garapata. nyay, i'm having goosebumps ryt now.
Bats are so cute! I went through a cave in Aruba:)
Very cool post. Bats are marvelous and adorable little creatures that get a very bad rap. Their fur is soft and their wings are like the finest of light leather. Plus they do so much good, like you said about spreading seeds, while others can eat 1000s of bugs, including mosquitos, per night.
Thank you for sharing. Great captures under difficult circumstances.
I hope their habitat remains safe so that they will survive.
Awfully nice blog! Have to say that I have had bats flickering through my livingroom, and - UGH! But you provide a much better perspective. That can be said for all your posts. Thanks for sharing!
Hmmm... don't really like those creepy animals... quite scary actually + bad smell in those caves... ;-)
amazing photographs! I love bats and like others have said I am grateful they eat so many bugs!

That is very cool! Thanks!
