In April, Skunk Bear traveled to a tiny town along the banks of the Panama Canal to learn a little bit about bats. We caught some wild bats in super fine mist nets, fed them sugar water, and visited the trees, caves and abandoned bunkers where they roost. While most bats play important roles in the jungle, there is one species that causes real problems and doesn’t seem to add much to the ecosystem: the common vampire bat. They spread the deadly rabies virus to livestock and people. That raises the question - should we drive this problematic species to extinction? Check out our video about this dilemma here: -- source link
