The documentary takes a closer look at one of nature’s breathtaking spectacles – the world’s largest mammal migration. In November, thousands of fruit bats descend on Zambia’s Kasanka National Park, turning the skies black as they travel hundreds of kilometers following the ripe fruit.
Through the lens of researchers Martin Wikelski and Dina Dechmann from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, the film shows how these flying mammals navigate and tracks their movements. However, the documentary doesn’t shy away from the challenges these creatures face. The fruit bats’ habitat is threatened by illegal deforestation and poaching, causing their population to decline rapidly. Join the park rangers as they visit villagers, farmers and schools to educate the locals on the importance of protecting these extraordinary creatures. Don’t miss this captivating documentary that reveals the beauty and fragility of nature!
