Can we just have a little recognition for the Brazilian free-tailed bat? They deserve so much more reknown then they are given. The battle for *fastest* has been going on between the cheetah and the peregrine falcon for ages and ages. Cheetah can hit 120kmh, and while the pergrine flies at only 100kmh it can dive at 320kmh. That's cheating, not your own power, no two ways about it. If that counts, fastest is actually the human because we can dive up to about 1300kmh now. But this little known bat, who isn't even aware of what it can do, has been clocked at 160kmh in level powered flight. You win little bat.
Grateful for the awesome video! Fruit bats are more effective seed dispersers than birds, because they manage to "disperse" in flight. Birds need to be perched. In some places here in Brazil, up to 80% of plant species in the Atlantic rain forest are dispersed by bats.
not sure birds need to be perched, ive had a bird drop one directly on top of my head as it flew over me! stood in the middle of a field in the middle of the day, whilst playing rugby!
@@BigPerm6999Yeah. I think, if anything, the fact of them being better seed dispersers is aided more by the fact that they roost in larger numbers and move together that way more often. They also tend to travel larger distances on average while foraging, even if they aren’t known for long distance migration, which any given species of bird will only do twice a year anyway.
That explains why they collapse and die during extreme heat waves. Not sure about the frequency, but it happens to flying foxes in Australia, especially the mums carrying pups.
I think I'm starting to understand why Bruce Wayne was freaked out by these little guys. Seeing one coming out of the darkness is a bit unnerving but the mechanics of their flight is still very interesting.
Glory be to the Creator. *_"We will show them Our signs in the universe and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth."_* Holy Quran 41:53.
I always thought how cool it would be if x-ray 🩻 mirrors 🪞 existed. So when you look into it you would only see your bones, but in motion! How amazing that would be! And it would show your personal skeleton, with your build, your own teeth!

I thought it's the Mexican free-tailed bat holds the title of fastest bat.

Such sweet, amazing creatures! I'm just reading Merlin Tuttle's The Secret Lives of Bats now. 😍🦇
Astonishing camera work and really interesting thank you :)
"Look at that crazy bat lady" said the cat ladies!
Haha
This. Is. ADORABLE
When you watch Dark Knight and also watching this be like:
Amazing footage of bats. Well made, video!
Great timing to expose bats to humans
😂
what
@@INCURSIN well corona started cause a bat so
Oh i thought u said i ate my grandmas ashes
@@INCURSIN that’s never happened
That was wonderful. Thank you.
Wow yo superb I really didn't know this!
Is this a good timing for study bat?
Wouldn’t this be the best time to be studying bats ?
Not all bats carry diseases
@@amit6468 lmao
saw the second bat and thought of deep sea creatures. pretty cool :3
I would think that the blood pumping through the capillaries of the wings cools the bat like a radiator.
omg dont expose the bats like this
Lol
Very good
@3:10 flap wings 12 times per second. No wonder it can produce high heat to kill viruses.

Amazing!!!
Huujj
Amazing never knew about these amazing facts
"Cameras" without the apostrophe.
Very Very nice 👍❤️👏💯🔔my friend
"MAYBE IT RADIATES HEAT FROM THE FUR"
hahahhaahahahah
we are researchers
Fur is designed to regulate heat so she may be right.
butt head no shit
@@tak828 Why you telling me?
They basically swim through air
People have so much time to watch how a bloody bat flies amazing
How are they not exploding? 😂
Have we not learnt our lesson

hey anyone want bat soup in 2020?
I'll get a bat of my own called Louisville Slugger and squash it!
Where are the corona jokes
At the ICU
Come on BBC, camera's what??? Your title doesn't make sense!
😲😲😲😦😦☝☝
WHYYYYY
Why did this still have to be infected by conspiracy theorists
Conspiracy theorists? They're scientists. Not all theories have to be conspiracy theories.
2nd one 🤟🏻
I don't like bats.
corona thoughts
They really think were idiots
I always thought how cool it would be if x-ray 🩻 mirrors 🪞 existed.
So when you look into it you would only see your bones, but in motion!
How amazing that would be!
And it would show your personal skeleton, with your build, your own teeth!
