Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation (MTBC) was founded by Dr. Merlin Tuttle. He has studied and photographed bats worldwide for more than 60 years. He founded and led Bat Conservation International (BCI) for 30 years, then left BCI in 2009 and founded MTBC. Join at www.MerlinTuttle.org!
Merlin’s unique photography and communication first led to global appreciation of bats as safe, invaluable, even cute, and likable. No one has better demonstrated the power of combining captivating photos with sound science to win friends instead of battles for bats. Nor has anyone better demonstrated how conservation can benefit humans. Merlin’s legendary photos and experience provide invaluable guidance and inspiration that must be preserved and shared for future generations.
MTBC is now Merlin’s sole source of support, both for his ongoing conservation efforts and for preservation of his priceless photo collection and legacy resources.
Mr. Tuttle conducts himself extremely well in this interview considering how shitty all the other humans are being.
That little bat at the beginning is soooo cute.
This segment was waaayyyy to short though. I wanted to hear more about the flying foxes....
Haven't seen this since it aired, but still remember the line "What have you down to that chihuahua?!?", which became something of a legend in our house.
dam you’re old
Great interview on #1932 JRE podcast. It brought me here. Fascinating info and stories. Thanks for your research!
Reading Dr. Tuttle's book "The Secret Lives of Bats" and then watching this really gives me a better idea of just how bad and negative western perceptions of Bats were during the 20th century. Thank you Dr. Tuttle and all of the other hard working bat scientist for all the work you've done through the years in shifting our view of these wonderful creatures.
Yes. Great read. Tuttle stated only 10 people have died from bat contact in all of recorded history. Any bat-disease connection is pure speculation.
Bats are so amazing. This is awesome to see you on this show. Spreading batty love ♡
They were all adorably, but the second one was such a cutie...like a baby Yoda with more hair and fewer wrinkles.🖤🇨🇦
I'm here from ologies cos I needed to see this. I love watching the brown bats fly around in our back yard catching bugs. My family listens to them click and chirp and swoop around. They're so sweet and wonderful for our environment ❤️
We also have two elderly African fruit bats at our bird sanctuary, and I like to visit during their feeding times and watch them eat grapes and spit out the skin. Such cute, gentle critters.
crowd: eeew!!! agh!!!
me: hi sweetheart!
Seriously! Why people think these lil dudes are creepy is beyond me.
Merlin!!!!!
