I wouldn't be scared of a bat in my room. It would spook me at first, but then I would try to catch it and take it outside and free it... Or keep it until night time.
Sean The Bermanator spoken like someone who’s never seen one in their room in their mosquito net trapped and scarred for life.... yeah that’s me... I don’t even know why I came searching for this all my worst fears have been realized
Sean The Bermanator why aren’t they... they have no boundaries they stick to places and them being blind and relying on echolocation makes it really hard to predict their movements, and they might seem cute ordinarily but once you see them fly it’s like a whole new animal...
Just want to rectify some misinformation... flying foxes do not grow to a 6ft span here in Australia. The largest ones here are the grey-headed flying fox, and they can reach a span up to 4ft. The largest bats in the world, the six-footer flying foxes, are a Malaysian breed.
also, most of those ones in the video arent blacks... those are the grey-headed ones lol... awkward xpp i appreciate how it didnt try to make them look like violent monsters tho, theyre some of the cutest little guys out there. just look at megabattie and batzillas bat rescue channel. precious dark angels. ^^
No. In the summer they colonize large trees, make shit loads of noise because of their constant bickering. They stink up the place with their bat piss ( a large colony of bats living in a tree make a lot of piss). They shit on your car when they fly over it & the shit eats through the paint. They will attack every mango on your tree, only take one or two bites & then chuck it on the ground. They also carry the lyssavirus which is a type of rabies.
I use to live in this town here in Australia called Ipswich, it had a bat colony in the middle of the town and the neighbours wanted to pull it down due to noise and the oder. But they didn't pull it down as it was a town icon. It was so beautiful to see at around 5pm, you'd see a blanket of bats fly over the city to the other side to feast on the fruit. I miss them.
He was scared of bats as a kid, he wanted the criminals in Gotham city to have fear in him so he chose the bat 🦇 as his symbol because he used to be scared of them
They look adorable! On a side note I bet that your average human would need 100+ feet wide demon wings if he/she wanted to fly like them. It's amazing how big bats are still very light.
I love the flying foxes. They are quite a sinister looking in the dark of night when they fly by but when you actually see their faces, they have cute faces like little er, foxes :)
I had one of these cuties come in through my window once while i was living in toowoomba, he or she, would come in every afternoon and hang down on my clothes horse cuddle herself and relax then leave when she was cool enough.
It's vids like these that make me feel proud to be Australian. Anywhoodle, I've always loved bats and it is a complete mystery to me as to why people are scared of them.
To be fair they are responsible for transmitting certain viruses and diseases, I’m pretty sure that’s why many are afraid of cockroaches, besides that, I can’t see anything wrong with them
Me, too. They're beautiful. My Mother disagrees, but what does she know? Well, a lot, but not so much about animals and how beauty is all around us. Sometimes it's difficult to see, but it's there somewhere. I have been terrified of spiders (particularly Tarantulas and those gigantic jungle spiders), but I've done my own exposure therapy for 2 yrs. I got to the point where I couldn't say the word, "tarantula" without horrible nightmares. Now I watch videos of them at night. But I doff my hat to you Aussies for being able to live amongst some of the largest ones on the planet, namely the bird-eating tarantula. They still give me a slight shudder.
I have never seen this big of a bat before and I am very happy to have stumbled across this video. They are crazy big but adorable at the same time. I want one as a pet.
I just feel that it makes the experience more fun. The narrator's voice sounds like he's trying to get you interested in what he has to say, rather than boring you to tears in a voice duller than Ben Stein.
Even if they'd fly towards you, they'd NEVER EVER EVER hit you. Last summer I had a fun experiment with (smaller) bats flying around in a wood in Malaysia. They were 2 bats flying around in circles, and I would stand in the middle and move a bit in their fly-path, or raise a hand up, not ONCE they touched me, even though they brushed by me a few times. It was amazing and not at all scary.
Agree with the comments - that repellent yank voiceover is the worst. Fruit bats are GORGEOUS I have a whole tree of them near me love hearing them squeak every night :D
I don't know if you're still reading the news but a long time ago scientist said that BATS DON'T transmit coronavirus! And isn't all Chinese people that eats them, also others cultures have this habit too, so... you need be more careful about the information you receive!
@@Ruben2827y other "stupid animals" also transmit viruses and others diseases. Domestic animals too, if they aren't healthy... don't hate animals, is just a matter of health care. They need this too. =)
These little guys (flying fox/fruit bat, the only flying mammal) live in colonies in Australia, Philippines, and some parts of Asia and Africa. They can grow to massive sizes and come in different colours. They live only on fruits and raise their babies for up to 6 months at a time and are not eco locators like the vampire bats, they rely on eyesight. Depending on the area their predators are hawks, crocodiles, and other large birds of pray. However they are accident prone in urban areas due to their strict restrictions of take off, making them get trapped in city areas easily resulting in injury or starvation. They live together in trees and typically fly at night to look for fruit and water. However they are bound to be extinct in 20 years due to lack of food and deforistation. Flying foxes cannot stand upright nor walk as their hips and legs and feet are backwards. They sleep, eat, mate, birth, all hanging upside down. They can be prone to disease such as the rabies virus, it is very rare but possible. If you get scratched or bitten by a flying fox that has the virus in its brain, it can be transmitted to you. So it is highly recommended not to touch them unless you have been vaccinated. If you ever find a flying fox that is trapped or injured there are many wildlife carers you can call that will rescue the bat.
I wish to raise a pack of flying foxes. I will have up to 8 hanging from the rafters in my house People will come over for the first time, and all the bats wil lflip shit Ill look at them slowly and whisper *They're all named bruce wayne
