   When I heared about bats commonly I associate them in a horror movies like dracula who sucks bloods among thier victims.
   They hide themselves in the dark waiting for the night to fall and hunt for victims.
    This tales gave bats bad reputations. They are'nt blood suckers but feed on fruits and insects. Environmentalists protects them because they maintain balance to our ecosystem.
   Monford Batcave located in Samal Island is the world's largest population of Goeffroy's rousette (fruitbats) estimated to 1.8 million in 2006 according to Guinnes Book of Records.





Bats formed themeselves like a large mat at the cave's hole. They contain themeselves inside that cave when daytime and go out to seek food at night. they are nuctornal and only mammals that can fly.




Despite of the rotten smell of decayed fruits, bat's feces and urine, me and my family posed at the entrance hole of the cave. My son said .. uummmph! stink bomb....
