    I have lived bats since I was a kid…a bit unusual for 73 year old woman whose mother, grandmother and friends were terrified of them. I’ve had the opportunity to save a few from humans attempting on doing them harm. I’ve also done my vest to change people’s minds about them. Such extraordinary creatures.

    Why do they hang upside down?

    • @sheepiesleep
      @sheepiesleep 4 дні тому

      Not sure if this is 100% of the reason (definitely not an expert!) but bats find it difficult to take off from the ground. They generally have very weak legs, so they belly crawl when on the ground. Hanging upside down allows them to drop, and get good air for lift off that way!

    it's great how they're called bats in english, that's by design because if one ever comes inside their house. The ancient language immediately tells you "Go get a bat and swing it!"
