Flora and Fauna: Small but mighty bumblebee bats

Tweet

Have you heard about bumblebee bats? They are the world's smallest mammals, weighing just about 2 grams and the size of a large bumblebee. These tiny bats live in Thailand and Myanmar and help control insect populations. What's cool is how they use echo location to find food and navigate in the dark. They live in limestone caves and are very elusive, so spotting one is rare. I'd love to see a bumblebee bat in person one day and learn more about them.
