Upside Down and Dreaming - The Secret Life of Brown Big-eared Bats in the Czech Republic's Bohemian Forest
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by wildlife photographer Paul van Gaalen, we are granted a rare glimpse into the mysterious world of hibernating bats. Meet VG-7131, a charming Brown Big-eared Bat who has found solace in the depths of a cave within the stunning NP Bohemian forest. With its long ears delicately folded against its furry face, VG-7131 appears to be peacefully suspended from the cave ceiling, defying gravity with remarkable agility. As an insectivore extraordinaire and expert nocturnal navigator, this little mammal is taking full advantage of its upside-down position to rest and recharge for another night of hunting. Surrounded by fellow winged companions sheltering nearby, VG-7131 finds comfort in solitude as it slumbers away. Its wings neatly tucked against its body provide both warmth and protection during these chilly winter months. This image not only showcases the breathtaking beauty of European nature reserves but also reminds us of our responsibility to protect these precious habitats. Let's celebrate the incredible diversity that exists within our own backyard while supporting conservation efforts that ensure future generations can continue to marvel at nature's wonders like VG-7131 and his bat brethren.
