Bats often hang upside down in the 'banana tree' position, so how do they go to the toilet?

Bats are a strange creature with a very 'heavy' way of sleeping. They swing on branches or cave walls with an extremely odd position of their heads down to the ground, like 'planting a banana tree'. This way of sleeping upside down will help them get enough blood supply to the brain.

Moreover, the leathery wings are not strong enough to help them fly from the ground to the air like other birds or insects. Therefore, hanging yourself in the "planting banana" position will help them "take off" easier and faster, especially when in danger.

This habit of bats is all the result of long evolution. But there is a question that will make many people wonder: How will they go to the toilet in this odd position?

How bats go to the toilet.

The answer is very simple. They will change position by using their forelimbs to cling to the object above and then go to the toilet. So urine or feces will flow down and when the "sadness" is resolved, they will return to the previous hanging upside down position.
