Nevertheless of it small size,

Tanjung Datu National Park is

equally rich and varied in

wildlife including the only

flying mammal, BATS.

Recent survey shows there are

at least 26 species of bats in

Tanjung Datu National Park.

Bats falls under the order of

Chiropteran and there are 8

families of bats in Borneo

which can be distinguished

based on ear shape, muzzle

shape, the presence or absence

of a noseleaf and the tail

pattern.

There are two types of bats

which are fruit and nectar

feeders, and insect eating bats.

Fruit bats are responsible as a

pollinating agent whereas

insect bats has an important

role in our ecosystem as a pest

control.
