•The mortality rate of bats at modern-day swimming pools is comparable to that at Messel 47 million years ago
90% Informative
Hundreds of fossil bats have already been recovered from the 47-million-year-old oil shales of the Messel Pit UNESCO World Heritage Site .
The researchers discuss two hypotheses: death by toxic gases, or death due to cyanobacteria in the water of Lake Messel .
But experiments and a survey of drowned bats in swimming pools suggest bat mortality is comparable to that in modern-day swimming pools.
