Slide 3:
When daylight comes, bats need a roost – a safe place to sleep. Flying fox bats often hang from high tree limbs, out in the open, but most bats roost in caves, mines, buildings or hollow trees.
Some rain forest bats make their own shelters. They chew partway through the veins of several leaves, causing the leaves to droop. This forms a tent-like space in which a colony of bats sleep.
