Last Posts Answer: D. Pups will be weaned faster: Megabats generally have pups 12% of their body size, and microbats give birth to pups about a quarter (25%) of their body size. That would be like an average woman giving birth to a 35 pound child! The reason for giving birth to such large pups serves a great purpose; weaning times are far less. A bat needs to grow up and eat solid food quickly, and as soon as the bat can fly, it is time to move on to solids. The bigger the pup starts out, the less time it will take for it to actually be able to fly.
