Trivia

Without bats, say goodbye to bananas, avocados and mangoes. Over 300 species of fruit depend on bats for pollination(link is external). Bats help spread seeds for nuts, figs and cacao — the main ingredient in chocolate. Without bats, we also wouldn’t have plants like agave or the iconic saguaro cactus. Source: U. S.
