Brown bats pollinate Agricultural plants, such as bananas, mangoes, cashews, dates, avocadoes, peaches, cloves, and figs (to name a few) rely on bats for pollination. Bats also help distribute the seeds of these important plants, so they can reproduce and create more fruit for us humans to eat and enjoy.
Bats are very important pollinators in tropical and desert climates. They feed on the insects in the flowers as well as on the nectar and flower parts. Over 300 species of fruit depend on bats for pollination. The Agave plant and the Saguaro also depend upon bats for pollination.
