🦇 June is here! Female bats usually give birth to a single baby, called a pup, which they feed on their milk. Young bats are very small (less than an inch) and pink with little to no fur. They will soon grow a thin, slightly grey fur.

There are four UK native frog and toad species - but two are already very rare due to habitat loss 🐸 Their main challenges are loss of breeding ponds and disruption of migration routes by roads, buildings and property boundaries. Here are some ways that you can help our amazing amphibians 👇

Sound up for pretty quiet batty ASMR! Some bats don't catch on to eating mealworms and prefer the "blended diet" developed by Bat World. It's a mix of frozen mealworms and supplemental ingredients for complete nutrition. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife #asmr #asmreating

Labour promised to restore nature. ❌ Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it. We offered solutions. We’re done waiting. Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species. Without significant change, it must be scrapped.

🦇 Bats do not make nests, but choose various places throughout the year to roost. They can roost in houses, but some species prefer hollow trees, or caves. In buildings they often shelter behind hanging tiles and boarding or in roof spaces. Learn more here: www.bats.org.uk/about-bats/w...
