I'm a science educator interested in everything science.

Tata Institute of Social Sciences Mumbai has two trees that are of African origins and are pollinated by bats. Campus also hosts a big colony of bats knows as Indian fox.

Two trees are Sausage tree (Kigelia africana) and Some cousin of Kalabash tree (Genus Crescentia).

Their followers are large and think. Three flowers open at night
