BITTY BAT
In the depths of a dark cave in Sai Yok National Park, west-central Thailand, a tiny bat hangs
effortlessly from the ceiling. A mere two grams in weight and a little over an inch in length,
the bumblebee bat is one of the world’s smallest mammals. It flies only under the cover of
darkness in the dense forests, where it is but a shadow in the night. 5.1. But exactly
which of them pose the greatest threat to the bats remains unknown.
In fact, there is much about bumblebee bats that has yet to be explained. They live in groups
called colonies, but whether colonies move from one cave to another remains vague.
5.2. This process provides different types of information from which the precise
location, orientation, and type of prey are identified.
The bumblebee bats’ remote cave sites would suggest that the animals are safe from
potentially threatening human activities. 5.3. According to the International Union for
Conservation of Nature, colonies at some cave sites decreased by an estimated 14 percent
between 1998 and 2008. In fact, there are now fewer than 10,000 bumblebee bats left in the
wild, and populations in Thailand are expected to decrease by another 10 percent in the next
decade.
Major threats to the existence of the bumblebee bat stem from human activities, and include,
for example, human intrusion into caves from tourism, habitat destruction from mining and
the burning of forests around cave entrances. 5.4. So, as part of their efforts to save the
tiny creature, conservationists must now work to improve public education about the species
so that people can respond positively to the need for its protection.

A. How long bumblebee bats live is also unknown, but it may be around 5 to 10 years longer
than in case of the lifespans of other closely related bats.
B. Many of these acts suggest just a lack of awareness of the bats’ presence or of the harmful
impact being exerted on them.
C. But since their discovery in the seventies by the Thai mammologist Kitti Thonglongya,
the species has been in decline.
D. Such secretive behaviour would suggest that bumblebee bats are trying to avoid being
hunted by predators.
E. What is known is that bumblebee bats, just like other bats, navigate and detect the target
by emitting high-pitched sounds that bounce off objects and reflect back to their ears.
