Hundreds of fruit bats in a cave - Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) - Cyprus 31/7/2024

The Egyptian fruit bat or Egyptian rousette (Rousettus aegyptiacus) is a species of Old World fruit bat.
Egyptian fruit bats are found throughout Africa, except in the desert regions of the Sahara, and throughout the Middle East, as far east as Pakistan and northern India. Due to its extensive geographic range, and relatively large wild population, Rousettus aegyptiacus does not hold any specific conservation status.

Wow what a lovely sight George, thank you. I go outside every night at 8-8.30pm to watch small bats. 🤗🤗👍👍

Thanks, George, I've been waiting for a long time for a video about A. aegyptiacus in Cyprus. Have no Idea about their vulnerability and population trends in your country.
