Signage in Fruit Bat Forest

Why have they simplified the names, that annoys me.

I've never seen a Seba's Short-tailed Bat. I didn't realise they were that small!

Very small and very loud - I can still *just* about hear them, and it can be pretty damn noisy in that tunnel.

I'm wondering if the "insectivorous bats" I remember from the Grzimek House in 2004 were actually Seba's. There were a whole group of them and I was surprised to see them - but I don't recall any identification on them, so they could have actually been Seba's. I just assumed they were insectivorous ones based on size.

@Chlidonias They certainly had Seba's back then, as they do now - according to ZTL, they have held the species since 1977 and in 2005 held 335.370.107

So I reckon you are correct.

(On another note, this year I shall hopefully be visiting Frankfurt myself; long beyond the days when it held anything like the treasures it once did, but I suspect I shall still enjoy it)

Excellent, so I have seen them ... not that I properly recall them beyond being small bats.
