Description

A Group of Wahlberg's Epauletted Fruit Bats come here every spring (October) to mate and raise their offspring. They sleep during the day in a King Palm (Archontophoenix alexandrea). At the moment we have about 14 bats here with at least 4 female bats with babies, some smaller juvenile bats and some grown up bats. The maximum we counted 32 bats here in our palm tree. They come every year to the same tree.
