Given the chance, bamboo will create immense forests, dominating entire areas. Bamboo forests occur across southwest China, all the way to Shanghai.
時機成熟，竹子將造就出支配整個地域的龐大竹林。竹林的蹤跡遍及整個中國的西南部，一路向東直至上海都能看到它的身影。
But probably the highest diversity of bamboos in the world is found on the hills and valleys of Yunnan.
或許世界上最高聳挺拔的竹子，卻悠然生長在云南的山谷之中。
Though incredibly strong, bamboos have hollow stems, a perfect shelter for any creatures which can find a way in.
盡管外表堅硬，竹子的腹中卻空無一物，為一切能夠尋徑而入的生命創造了天然完美的庇護所。
This entrance hole was made by a beetle but it's being used by a very different animal.
這是甲蟲開鑿的一個入口但卻為完全不同的生物做了嫁衣。
A bamboo bat. The size of a bumblebee, it's one of the tiniest animals in the world.
竹節蝙蝠。它是世界上最小的哺乳動物，體型和大黃蜂差不多一樣大。
The entire colony, up to 25 bats, fits into a single section of bamboo stem, smaller than a tea cup.
整個聚居地內里多達25只竹節蝙蝠，擠在比一個茶杯的空間還要狹小的竹節里。
It's quite a squeeze! Half the colony are babies. Though barely a week old, they are already almost as big as their mums.
這簡直就是擠油渣。竹節內一半的空間屬于竹蝠寶寶。盡管只有一周大而已 他們的體型卻長得和媽媽一般大小了。
Feeding such a fast-growing brood is hard work. The mums leave to hunt just after dusk each night.
喂養這幫瘋長的小家伙實在是件苦差事。蝙蝠母親們只在每晚薄暮降臨后外出尋覓食物。
