The ghost bat is present in Northern Australia, Western Australia, Queensland, and the Northern Territory. Ghost bats are classified as “vulnerable” due to the destruction of caves, human disturbance by visiting roosts in caves, and the loss of prey (which is due to a loss of they prey’s habitat). It is estimated that there are only 5,000 ghost bats left. The common name “ghost bat” is attributed to the bat’s white appearance when looking as it flies over head. Natural predators of the ghost bat are few. Ghost bats can be heard making excited twittering noises.
Queen termites are the longest living insects. They can live for 50 years.
