Bats
eat bugs so the bugs don't bug people! Bats keep the insect population
down. One small brown bat can eat 1,000 mosquitoes in one hour!
Bats
eat the bugs that feed on the farmer's crops. The farmer does
not have to use so much bug spray and we have better fruits and vegetables.
Bats
drop seeds and spread pollen from tree to tree. This helps more
fruit and trees to grow. In the rainforest, bats
help tropical fruits, like bananas, grow.
Doctors
are studying bats to see if their saliva (spit) can make medicine to help people with heart trouble.
