- You thought that bats were dangerous killer animals. Well, not this one at least. This is a gigantic fruit bat that we met up in the mountains of Bali Indonesia. This Indonesian guy has this bat as a pet that he rescued as a baby and has kept it with him for many years.

I agree, so much fear surrounding. I would still not handle any wild one for sure. This one was kept since it was a baby
They're not aggressive towards humans.
In fact, they're actually pretty skittish.
Also, they’re responsible for like 70% to 80% of the worlds agriculture and ecosystem. Without them we’d pretty much be dead
Id say this one doesnt really
They have given people rabies so the bad rep is kinda justified

Not being able to love fruit bats is a terrible loss of joy.
just get your rabies shots first, they have potential to carry lyssa virus
Yeah, sooooooo terrible. Horror of horrors.

I don't have a bat phobia but Lyssavirus is FATAL and these fruit bats carry it. A scratch from a tooth or claw is all it takes :(
they can carry some very serious disease and virus.though there is people irrationally fear them. how sick from a small scratch/bite you can get is a perfectly rational fear and not a phobia

When I was seven, I went to aftercare one day and found a dying bat. It was laying at the bottom of the slide, wings splayed out, just panting. I told other kids, and we all crowded around it, and it never responded. Most of the other kids felt creeped out by it, but I just felt… sad. I’ve had a deep love and sympathy for bats ever since that day.
Educate yourself about rabies. Can’t believe you let kids go near a fucking dying bat. 🤦🏻♂️
No joke, there's a good chance it had rabies. Bats are notorious for being carriers of rabies, and panting is IIRC one of the symptoms. It is sad; rabies is a terrible disease with no cure. Feeling creeped out is also a normal response, it's part of our natural aversions to things that could potentially carry diseases.
Edit to add: A healthy bat probably would have creeped them out a lot less. It's specifically animals (or people) behaving in a clearly abnormal way that triggers a revulsion response, and a big one is being totally unresponsive to the presence of humans. It's an indication that there is something _not right_ with that animal.
I had an encounter with a feral kitten once that did not respond to my presence at all. At first, I was just happy to be able to pet it, but it quickly became clear something was wrong with it. It was having trouble standing up and couldn't walk without falling over. I had to get a rabies shot after it bit me, but it tested negative for rabies so I didn't need any more shots. They think it may have ingested some anti-freeze or something similar. Sadly, it had to be put down.
Love the way the bat grabs them to get more pets and kisses. ❤️
Hes tasting the sweat on her finger tf you mean kiss lmao
tf you mean "kiss" it literally is pulling her hand so it could obtain more salt of the sweat

@@yinyang2385dogs are the main reason people die of rabies. Bats have a much lower chance of transmitting rabies than a dog.
They’re the only flying mammal in the world. Their wings are like webbing in between each extended finger. Whereas birds have an extended index finger only, that makes up their wings. Which is why the bat is able to still use its hands to grab with. Unlike birds.

Two things can be true at the same time:
1) Bats can carry diseases particularly bad for humans
2) Bats can be adorably cute, and like all animals should be treated with respect.
Humans carry a lot of deadly diseases that can be spread to other types of animals too. It's called reverse zoonosis, and can cause fatalities.
Just be vaccinated; especially against rabies as that'll be one of the most ghastly ways to go.

In German, we even call fruit bats “Flughunde,” meaning flying dogs. In a similar vein, we call seals “Seehunde,” Sea dogs. I think that’s pretty apt.
I like this lore
Also in Dutch. Vleermuis (sorta like flying mouse) is there general term, but larger species are called vleerhond (flying dog). And then there are zeehonden (seadogs) for seals
In Australia we call them Flying foxes

Poor thing. That's really sad. But so awesome that he took care of it. Easy to see when people have big hearts. 💕
@@feliciaschemonia7764 I have to wonder if the bat was emotionally impacted by losing the ability to fly and if they have a happy sensation from flying.
@@4thdoctor284
There are people who care for bats that are used for teaching, and can no longer live wild. They literally hold the bats too old to fly on their own, and walk fast or run, to give the bats some sensation of flight they can no longer enjoy otherwise.
I’ve always loved fruit bats, they’re gorgeous and there are a lot in Australia. However, almost all are long-term disease carriers; Lyssavirus, Nipah virus, Ebola, Marburg virus, rabies. All wildlife sanctuaries and zoos I’ve been to that have bats never allow people to touch them and always warn to never touch any bats because of the enormous risk bats specifically carry.
They are capable of carrying those diseases, so hence the precaution for not touching them. But the prevalence of those diseases in the bat populations themselves is quite rare - e.g. ABLV (Lyssavirus) is the virus of concern in Australia, which has an estimated prevalence of less than 1% in flying-fox populations. The other viruses you mentioned have not been detected in Australian bats to my knowledge.
@@aussiedragon288I believe they are also the leading cause of death by rabies
@@aussiedragon288 the problem is only a 20 I.Q bigot would believe you could catch a large enough number of them to draw a reasonable conclusion. "Less than 1%" of 1000 of them when there's hundreds of millions of them = a very flawed equation, to say the least lol. The fact is nobody knows what % are carriers, it could be 90% and you would never know, you're just vomiting 20 I.Q horse sh*t!
@@youssefbencheikh8637 I am not disputing fruit bats spread rabies, but there are no cases of rabies transfer from Australian animals. However they can spread lyssavirus which is potentially fatal. Hendra virus is another one which can be fatal too.
Wow
Bats are awesome mammals. They get way too much hate from ignorant people. They are super helpful to the environment and are actually quite friendly.
Maybe they are useful to the environment but you must absolutely not be in physical contact with them. They are flying packages of deadly diseases.
Yup, always remember, big bat = puppy, small bat = handle with thick gloves or ideally not at all.
@@eleSDSU So basically like scorpions.
While they are helpful in keeping insect populations down and other things, they are vectors for a lot of diseases
Except for the vampire bat. They are truly nightmare fuel.
Like flying puppies until they bite you 😭 then you’ll be one flying
I am experiencing a deep painful need to pet the crap out of this amazingly adorable bat ❤
While statistically, it is very unlikely to contract rabies from bats (less than 1% of bats carry the virus) we should ALWAYS practice caution when handling wild animals. Do not handle one if you are not a professional, and even then, make sure you are vaccinated!
The fact that the obvious requires being stated multiple times just proves that humanity isn't an intelligent species.

I dunno, tho, maybe it’s just my obsession with halloween and spooks that makes me like them.
I wasn't scared of them for carrying potential diseases as a kid
, I was scared that they were vampires lol
Bats are chill because they literally have no way to fight, they can only fly away. They traded courage for wings, and it was a good trade.
Bats are very dangerous because of the way their immune system is set up, completely different from humans. Rabies does nothing to them, but to us…?

They really are adorable, sweet animals for the most part. It's so disheartening that there are many who carry serious diseases. If they didn't, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more people keeping them as pets.
Obviously, you can get bats that are not disease carriers. But at least in the wild, there is always that risk.
They are such amazing animals, really cute and for the most part very sweet. Its tragic that they are prone to carrying and passing in diseases.
Just wanted to add this for people that don't know this already: If you find an injured flying fox or bat NEVER touch them! Only call animal services! Not only because of serious risk of infection (rabies!) but also because if they scratch or bite you, animal rescue services in many countries are obligated to kill the animal!
@@JS-hx1cubut it would be me who gets infected and sick no? Not the bat. So why the warning?
@@AutoRauto I am warning about two things when handling wild bats and megabats:
1. You could contract serious infections. Bats are one the primary rabies vectors. You don't want that.
2. You could get the bat killed. For example @Megabattie, an australian animal rescuer and carer for flying foxes often warns about touching bats, because they might bite or scratch you and then the rescuer is required by law to euthanize / kill the poor animal.
Well Chinese ate them and caused a pandemic
@@JS-hx1cuisn't there some way to vaccinate wild bats? Like create a non-lethal trap. And vaccinate them and then set them back into the wild. If you do that long enough they wouldn't carry rabies anymore.

It's a type of bat nicknamed "Flying fox" or "Fruit bat". They're completely harmless (except for possible rabies infection)

Bats' teeth are so tiny that you can receive a micro bite and not even notice, and you can contract rabies from them.
