Did you know this about bats?
Put up a bat house to encourage the presence of these shy animals. Bats consume 3,000 or more mosquitoes and other insects nightly, and bats are less likely to be rabid than dogs are.
Need another reason?
Bats are responsible for up to 95 percent of the seed dispersal essential to the regeneration of forests.
Our planet is populated with plenty of bizarre and astonishing creatures.
Here are three from the Bat Family...
Sucker-footed Bat
Red-Winged Fruit Bat
Left-Winged Socialist Ding Bat
So 2 out of 3 bats have a useful purpose!
If we could just train her to eat mosquitoes
... or do anything useful !

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
