Reproducción y comportamiento de una colonia de murciélagos Carollla Perspicillata en cautividad

The behavioural and reproductive aspects of a colony of bats, Carollla perspicillata, from the city of Bogotá (2.600 m.a.s.!.) were studied. In one group of animals, copulation was confirmed with the evidence provided by the presence of sperma whereas the ocurrence of pregnancies was supported by hi...

description The behavioural and reproductive aspects of a colony of bats, Carollla perspicillata, from the city of Bogotá (2.600 m.a.s.!.) were studied. In one group of animals, copulation was confirmed with the evidence provided by the presence of sperma whereas the ocurrence of pregnancies was supported by histological studies of the reproductive tract. In another group of animals, copulation and pregnancy progress were allowed to occur in order to determine duration of gestation which took five months and eight days. A third group of animals, which was kept within the colony for two years, made evident, for the species, a reproductive cycle of the pollestric and binodal type with childbirth ocurrence in the months of February and March during the firt semester and August and September during the second half of the year. Growing and normal development of offspring was studied as well as their reproductive behaviour within the colony, in accordance with their forefather's patterns.
