Like other mammals, bats become pregnant through internal fertilization 2.5-7 months later baby is born.

However, this baby is not born like other mammals. The mother bat is upside down. How can this situation, which even violates the laws of physics, happen?

Let us first explain the mating process of bats.

If the courtship process of the female bat is successful, everything ends in a short time with a quick mating. We can hear wing flaps and noises. Work birth process When that happens, things get a little weird.

The female hangs upside down.

During birth, which can last from a few minutes to a few hours, the female hangs upside down, holding on with her thumbs and stretching hard. your mother’s from the pelvic canal The newborn baby logically moves up, away from it.

This is where gravity and gravity come into play. “birth net” The wing membranes are used as a trap. While the baby pushed upward will fall down due to gravity, the mother holds the baby with her wings.

The baby clings tightly to his mother’s body and to the nearest nipple is on its way. After the baby is born, the mother cleans the baby with her mouth and wings. We have become soft…
