Double Trouble - The Bat Duo Taking Hibernation to New Heights in the Ardennes!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Paul van Gaalen, we witness an extraordinary sight deep within the caves of Belgium's Ardennes. Meet VG-7113, a mischievous Mouse-eared Bat, who has found an unlikely companion during its winter slumber - Daubenton's Bat! These two winged wonders have formed an unexpected alliance as they hang upside down, defying gravity with their agile wings. With their furry bodies snuggled close together for warmth and protection, it seems that even bats appreciate a cozy cuddle during hibernation. As nocturnal insectivores, these European natives find solace in the quiet darkness of the cave. Their delicate features are beautifully highlighted in this close-up shot; you can almost hear them softly breathing as they peacefully rest. While most creatures prefer solid ground for sleep, these batty buddies have mastered the art of sleeping while hanging upside down. It's no wonder they've become experts at sheltering themselves from predators and enjoying uninterrupted dreams. So next time you stumble upon a cave in the Ardennes, keep your eyes peeled for this dynamic duo! They may be fast asleep now but come nightfall when insects emerge from hiding - watch out! These bats will take to the skies with unparalleled agility and grace. Remember to cherish nature's unique partnerships like VG-7113 and Daubenton's Bat – proof that even in hibernation mode
