Would a seba's fruit bat be possible if you have the time? they are special to me as the only bat I've ever held (so far) but they are also just generally delightful

What a delightful little guy... Hope holding a bat was as awesome as I imagine it to be

#I've been near them (free flying egyptian flying fox exhibit. best day ever.) but never touched one #which is probably a good thing but man. it would be so cool to be able to.#seba's short-tailed bat #bat #megabat #ask #anonymous

Let’s talk about the bat in the room

The topic of bat remains has been coming up a lot online. Most of these posts have been about the ethics of purchasing bat remains. I wanted to sort of condense what I’ve read into a single post and add my two cents. And for transparency I do own a bat skull, it was purchased from a local oddities shop and was originally identified as a straw-colored fruit bat (Eidolon helvum), but I have since properly identified it as a Leschenault’s Rousette (Rousettus leschenaultii). It was purchased before I was aware of some of the issues surrounding bat remains.

So why are people getting upset about bat remains being sold?

Many people in the Oddities and Vulture Culture communities have repeatedly raised concerns over the ethics and legalities of bat sales. Many of the bats sold online come from Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia, countries notorious for poor regulation of natural resources and little protection for endangered species. In October 2017 Newsweek published an article examining the impact of wild bat harvesting in Southeast Asia and the sales of bat remains in the West. They found that over 9,000 bats are slaughtered and over 113,000 dead bats entered the US between the mid 2000s and 2013. This is not a sustainable level of harvest, and some bat populations have seen a significant decline since selling bats as oddities became popular. This is different from bats that have been collected as scientific specimens for museums or educational institutions, and is also different from the smaller (albeit still concerning) numbers of bats killed for food or as a result of farming.

The legality of bulk bat shipments entering the US is also questionable at best. Wildlife products that are being imported to the US will often need import/export permits and potentially a CITES permit depending on if the species in question is protected or not. Many bulk bat shipments do not enter legally, either due to a lack of a permit, not being declared, or being shipped with other items. It is entirely possible for people who purchase bulk bat specimens from China or Indonesia to face legal trouble for importing wildlife.

China, Indonesia, and some other Southeast Asian countries also have a concerning lack of protections in place for wildlife. Indonesia especially is notorious for being both the biggest exporter of wildlife products and having high rates of poaching. As a consumer, purchasing bats from Indonesia and China incentivizes those who kill bats to continue killing them.

Bats collected from these countries are often sold on cheap online marketplaces like eBay, Wish, Amazon, and Etsy. While the low prices are very tempting it is very important to be aware of how that bat was likely collected and the industry that you are potentially supporting with your purchase.

If bats from Indonesia aren’t ok then what about bats native to where I live?

If you’re an American then most likely no. Many North American bat species are endangered due to habitat loss and White Nose Syndrome, a lethal fungal infection that can have a mortality rate of over 90%. As a result, several species of bat are federally protected and even more are protected at a state level. Even if a particular species isn’t protected there could be potential issues with collecting, as many species that are not protected resemble federally protected species. For example, the federally protected Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) closely resembles the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), a species that is endangered but not protected at a federal level. It’s entirely possible for someone to mistake an Indiana bat for a little brown bat or vice versa, which could potentially result in legal consequences.

Bats are also a vector for rabies and many other emerging infectious diseases, which presents a health and safety risk to those who may come into contact with bat remains. Proper precautions must be exercised and if you are scratched or bitten by a bat it is recommended that you receive a rabies vaccination.

Are any bat remains ethical to own?

Since ethics are subjective ultimately you’re the one to decide what you consider to be ethical. If you would like to own real bat remains and would prefer to not own Southeast Asian bat remains Skulls Unlimited offers several species of bat for sale, including ones that are common in captivity like straw-colored fruit bats (Eidolon helvum) and Seba’s short-tailed bats (Carollia perspicillata).

If you would prefer not to own any real bat remains then there are several options for replicas. Both Skulls Unlimited and Bone Clones offer high quality resin replicas, though these can be somewhat pricey. A cheaper option are the 3D printed bat skeletons produced by Forgotten Boneyard; also of note is that $5 of every 3D printed skeleton is donated to a bat conservation charity.

There are many sellers who claim to ethically source their bat remains, especially on Etsy and eBay. As a consumer you should be weary of any business that claims to sell ethically obtained bat parts, especially if they have bulk quantities of well-preserved bat mummies and skeletons. Bycatch from farming and bats that had been hunted for food would likely be in too poor condition to mummify, so it’s more likely that these bats are coming from Southeast Asian and Chinese wholesale sellers. This isn’t to say that all people selling bat remains obtain their product this way, however, it is very common due to the cheap price and large quantity.
