Montfort Bat Sanctuary has been the home of a large colony of 1.8 million Rousette fruit bats since recorded history. They cover 75% of the ceilings and walls of their 245 ft (75 m)-long cave. The sanctuary is located on Samal Island, about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) east of Davao City, Philippines. According to Guinness World Records, it is the largest single colony of this kind.

I’m not a fan of Batman, never tried and no plans in seeing one; so get ready to throw those boos and hisses. But I was forced to get to know his species during my visit to Monfort Bat Cave Sanctuary in Samal Island.
