    We were on a boat last summer and saw an eagle in the water. It was waterlogged and he was exhausted. I fished him out of the lake and got him into some sun warmed beach towels and dried him off. He was just so weary from trying to fly that he actually fell asleep in my arms. We set him on a nice warm seat cushion and just left him be to dry out with the wind and sun and sleep as long as he wanted. After a few hours he perked up and flew off. He was a little shaky at first but he made one pass over us and left. I am certain he would have drowned or been run over from a boat. Nice feeling to see them get back to their ways knowing you made it possible. Just takes a little caring and some common sense.

      @@Rapscalionshandeekin Just so you know many bat species are on the endangered list and they are vital to the environment. If you kill a bat that is on the endangered list you do commit a crime. Smaller bats eat insects and without them we would be overrun by mosquitos and such. Larger bats like seen here spread seeds when they eat fruit and without them we humans would lose out on certain fruits that we love. So to care for the bats is critically important.

      Because in the U.S. the news and the government agencies scare us to death about rabies. Every summer they constantly report on how many bats they tested have rabies. They tell us if you wake up in a room with a bat, get the shots immediately. (I didn't this summer, but I worried about it for a month.) They run stories of the person who didn't know they were bit and died. They tell you rabies can remain in you for years and then kill you. They point out it is always fatal. So it isn't the bat itself anyone is scared. It is the hype.

    • @labotraduc8448
      @labotraduc8448 4 місяці тому +12

      I think people kept some kind of superstitious feeling from the time when religion depicted the devil as a bat-like creature.
      I love bats too. Although a vet in France recently explained to me that they really can have rabbies (I thought the movie Cujo was exaggerated), and if I was to find one dead, I should carefully handle it and put it in a plastic bag, seal it, and bring it to the nearest vet for them to run tests and see if it had rabbies. That way they can map where thr disease is present. He told they can definitely transmit rabbies to pets from saliva alone... If the bat comes to you instead of being afraid, it's not a good sign.
      Otherwise, they're so adorable!

      Flying foxes are not the same as most of the bats we have in the US.

Few people enjoy seeing a cave with a roof covered in hundreds of squirming rat creatures that can fly

      You’re all so delusional, you think life is some type of fantasy film. They need warnings on this video for kids especially. NEVER touch a bat especially if it looks ill. This encourages people to mess with or “help” bats that they see. 1 in 16 bats sent in for testing were positive for rabies virus. This is a disease that’s 100% fatal and kills you in the most painful way you can imagine. Bats are not “cute”. They’re the #1 disease spreading animal to humans. There’s FAR more than enough bats in this world, they do not need any saving. People like this who interfere with nature and think they’re doing something “good”, is incredibly stupid and simple minded.

      The ones that live near me are called long eared myotis bats.
      They eat insects and are one of the more common types of bat where I live. They pretty much mind their own business and they way keep down the amount of mosquitos and moths in the neighborhood. Its cool to watch them when they take off to go catch bugs. They all go off at once and its neat to see them all fly off in different directions to hunt for the night. These bats are afraid of people and wont let you get close to them, so I know if one let you approach it, its probably very sick and to stay away from it and call the wildlife people.
      But vampire bats are pretty cool too. Myotis species bats look kind of like them, but they have a slightly pointier nose and they eat insects instead of blood. Vampire bats dont live in the western US though, only in central and south america. Id like to see one someday.

      It's not entirely true that bats are the only mammals that can fly. Every time I fly somewhere (that's relatively often around 20 times a year), I see at least 2 to 4 stewardesses per flight. 😌 I think that in fairness one should not forget the species of humans. Because 1. they fly and 2. they can give milk and suckle. Some also make such (funny) noises, unfortunately I haven't found out what they mean by that, but I don't think it's a bad thing, because they always smile. Maybe someone here can help me with something if any of you have experienced something similar. I thank you in advance.

      We had a bat, when I was a kid, get hung up, some how, in our front door burglar bars/screen. My pops got it out and it flew into our house and we lost it. Later that night, my ma and pops were watching Halloween and my ma heard a noise, like quiet fluttering. Then she screamed and my pops turned on the fan light. It was, of course, the bat. It was looking for a way out and flying with precision around the ceiling fan. My pops opened the patio door and out it went. Never saw a bat again in my life. My ma was scared from the movie and when she saw a giant black thing flying through the house...😅
