Fragile World - Philippine Naked-Backed Fruit Bat - Critically Endangered

 My coloring is from the Fragile World coloing book illustrated by Kerby Rosanes.

The critically endangered Philippine Naked-Backed Fruit Bats

 are only found on the islands of Cebu and Negros. 

They were believed to be extinct, 

but by the early 2000's small populations were found.

They roost in caves, where humans are mining their feces, known as guano, 

for use as fertilizer.

Reproduction is disturbed due to human interference in their habitat.

Such a sad story!

This is the internet photo that I used to color this page.

I chose to color the fruit in my favorite purple tones.

I'm sure that the fruit these bats eat are more on the red side, 

but that's the joy of coloring!  

Do what makes you feel good.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Have a wonderful & blessed weekend,
