The maximum lifespan of bats is three-and-a-half times longer than other mammals of similar size. Six species have been recorded to live over thirty years in the wild: the brown long-eared bat ( Plecotus auritus), the little brown bat ( Myotis lucifugus), the Siberian bat ( Myotis sibiricus), the lesser mouse-eared bat ( Myotis blythii) the greater horseshoe bat ( Rhinolophus ferrumequinum), and the Indian flying fox ( Pteropus giganteus). [235] One hypothesis consistent with the rate-of-living theory links this to the fact that they slow down their metabolic rate while hibernating; bats that hibernate, on average, have a longer lifespan than bats that do not. [236] [237] Several species have a fission-fusion social structure, where large numbers of bats congregate in one roosting area, along with breaking up and mixing of subgroups. Within these societies, bats are able to maintain long-term relationships. [210] Some of these relationships consist of matrilineally related females and their dependent offspring. [211] Food sharing and mutual grooming may occur in certain species, such as the common vampire bat ( Desmodus rotundus), and these strengthen social bonds.

I also marvelled at the Jumbo used by a teammate, who was a big unit at about 6ft 4ins and could hit the ball a long way (and bowl fast, at people’s noses). ‘The bigger they are, the harder they hit – the SS Jumbo – Bat of Choice’ was the marketing spiel.

For temperate living bats, births typically take place in May or June in the northern hemisphere; births in the southern hemisphere occur in November and December. Tropical species give birth at the beginning of the rainy season. [229] In most bat species, females carry and give birth to a single pup per litter. [230] At birth, a bat pup can be up to 40 percent of the mother's weight, [40] and the pelvic girdle of the female can expand during birth as the two-halves are connected by a flexible ligament. [231] Females typically give birth in a head-up or horizontal position, using gravity to make birthing easier. The young emerges rear-first, possibly to prevent the wings from getting tangled, and the female cradles it in her wing and tail membranes. In many species, females give birth and raise their young in maternity colonies and may assist each other in birthing. [232] [233] [231]Bumblebee bat ( Craseonycteris thonglongyai)". EDGE Species.
