  • The Little Brown Bat settles down in it's day roost for a nap. See the bat stretch out his wings, yawn and bare it's teeth at 00.58 seconds and at the end of the clip even the ears stretch, one at a time!
    Recorded near Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

      This animal does nothing to keep the bugs down. They cant. Its a common people thing to say this. They eat the trillions of bugs, thats it. Period. Its like saying chimps keep the bannana trees from taking over. No, they just eat bannanas. You know how many chickens humans produce? They eat more bugs than bats, and they cant possibly keep down a population. They only thing that KEEPS DOWN bugs is weather....done!

Got a perfectly good bat house on the property, but apparently this one doesn't like crowds! And, no, folks it is not sick or hurt in any way. Goes into the small entry hole of bluebird box each morning and back out again each evening without any problems.

      I first fell in love with the Flying-foxes of Australia about 4 months ago. They are so cute, and the orphans need mothering for 3-4 months before going into an aviary creche, to learn to be bats...
      This little cutie is so much smaller, and delicate looking.

    For anybody wondering why the bat is acting like that it's because they hang upside down for long periods of time and they literally wrapped their wings around themselves and use their little fingers at the front with their wings to basically lock in place and cover their faces so they don't have to see the light and that gets a little stressful after a while so instead of flying around they usually just do one Wing stretch and then they do another one Wing stretch and they do it until they feel all good again.
