I am so absolutely chuffed! The dedication and time that Roger has put into the horseshoe bat colony has always been inspiring and I’m so grateful to have been involved the past few years. This is so well deserved ☺️🦇

Dr Roger Ransome has been studying a roost of greater horseshoe bats at Woodchester Mansion since 1959, the longest continuous study of a mammal by a single individual anywhere in the world! You can hear all about this in this #BatChat episode: batchat.buzzsprout.com/68056…

2024 is coming to an end and what a year it has been! From launching our first manifesto for bat conservation and our new strategy, through to raising much needed funds for our research and science work and the National Bat Helpline.

Bats are long-lived mammals which reproduce slowly: each female can only produce one baby per year and not all females will have babies each year. For this reason their populations are very slow to grow or recover their numbers. buff.ly/3fyG3uW

Our 9th most popular paper, published in #BiologyLetters, found that vampire #bats are able to burn amino acids as a fuel source in a similar way to blood-sucking insects, by measuring their metabolism (whilst they ran on treadmills!): ow.ly/nMwC50UtZcy #RSPopPapers 🦇
