The Question: Agave is mainly pollinated by what animal?
Mice
Hummingbirds
Bats
Butterflies
Agave — the succulent plant used to make mezcal, tequila, and sweetener — is chiropterophilous, meaning it is pollinated by bats. Agave blooms at night to conserve water in the dry desert, and emits a specific smell (like rotting fruit) to attract the bats, which collect pollen on their bodies as they drink the nectar.
The correct answer is Bats.
