Bats amazing pollinators
​I specifically chose bats as the protagonist because they are great examples of interdependence and connectivity in nature. The Lasser long-nosed bat and Mexican long-tongued bat are the main pollinators of Agave plants and Columnar cacti.
Every year, these bats migrate along a “nectar corridor” from central Mexico to the United States. Destruction of the habitat is a substantial threat for them, as well as for many others marvelous animals
Bats are the main pollinators of Agave Plants where the Tequila and Mezcal are their products of distillation.
​
The bat-plant association is so strong that the disappearance of one would threaten the survival of the other. .
