What a brilliant lesson! I've learned so many things about bats and their relationship with humans through this lesson. In fact, I'm kind of scared of bats when hearing the news 'outbreak covid' is from bats but it's changed recently, most of the bats are friendly with farmers, environmentalists, and scientists because it's mostly an insectivore and voraciously important consumers of agricultural pest insect! Once again, thanks a lot for this amazing lesson!
Thanks, that's really interesting!

Bets are so cute to me. I watched many films about vampires and there were bats around. One day i saw the bat for the first time in my friend's house. He came in and i was shocked and scared. I know nothing what to do next but my friend knew. She didn't try to hurt him but she made him go away through carpet. She said she was evil. I saw bets two times in my life. I didn't know that they lived Africa. Thanks BBC
Any time I am here with your channel
Bats are foes since them are the hero we need, no the one we derserves

Thank you so much indeed, Could you please explain what's the different meaning between "progenitor" and "ancestral" ?
İ think that progenitor is the parent or direct ancestor of animal, or plant. But ancestral means too old. İt means first roots of animal or plant and etc.
I looooove bats!!! 🥰
