Millions of straw-colored fruit bats migrate to Zambia each year (Credit: Kasanka Trust Ltd/ CC-BY-SA-2.0/ Rainforesttrust.org)

Kasanka National Park in Zambia, Africa, is home to an unlikely natural phenomenon — the world’s largest mammal migration. Each year, from October to December, millions of straw-colored fruit bats from across Africa converge on this evergreen swamp forest. These nocturnal mammals spend their nights feasting on wild fruits in the surrounding farmlands and their days resting in the forest. This cycle continues daily until January when the bats disperse and return to their respective habitats across the continent.

      Thats really interesting. maybe to see if it's the same bats each year put little tags on their feet. To be honest they are really cute i don't know why some people don't like them.

        That’s probably really cute! Imagine a bat with a tag saying: Meet Ben. Or meet Rose. Hahah!!
