A bat that was in a vulnerable condition was released in the last few hours.
The sighting of these animals is common in populated areas, therefore, the authorities invite you not to harm them and inform the competent personnel to carry out their rescue and assessment.
Uniformed personnel assigned to the Carabineros and Environmental Protection Section (SECAR) in coordination with officials of the Autonomous Corporation of Nariño (CORPONARIÑO), carried out the rescue, assessment and release of a bat that was in a vulnerable condition, since at It appears that he had entered the interior of a home completely disoriented.
This species of generally nocturnal animal lives for around 20 years and feeds on insects and small animals. Like bees and other insects, bats fulfill an important function in nature: they are pollinating animals without which many plant species would not be able to reproduce.
“Weevil,” as this little animal was affectionately baptized by the uniformed officers, was valued and returned to its natural habitat. The authorities invite citizens to protect these species that play a key role in offering important services to the ecosystem. One of them is insect control. Bats consume large volumes of insects, which translates into important economic benefits, since many of them represent significant agricultural pests.
