We love bats in the Pacific Northwest. Bats eliminate insect pests that damage the forests. They sometimes have a bat viewing party on the east shore of Lake Washington. It's a lot of fun, because they will fly really close to your face, but not hit you. They're just snagging the insects that fly around your face. Nothing like a bat to get rid of a pesky mosquito.
Watch the "Megabattie" channel , and "Batzilla" channel, both are Australia based bat rescuers, they find injured "flying foxes" yes, they have red hair on their heads, and they look like tailess winged foxes. They rescue injured bats who are caught in fruit tree netting, and they bottle feed the babies who are orphaned when their mom dies, then they are released into a bat colony to become UNhumanized after being hand fed, groomed and cuddled. Fruit bats are responsible for pollination of over 500 scecies of plants and trees such as mangoes, cashews, avacodoes, ect. Watch the you tube video "Bats are terrifying" it's actually adorable AND informative! Meg and the other bat carers are vaccinated, so they are protected against any virus they MAY carry. When you see those tiny sweet babies with pacifiers hanging upside down on Meg's shirt, it just melts your 💓.
I'm lucky enough to live near a 'camp' of grey headed flying foxes (the ones you most often see Meg rescuing). I could sit and watch them all day. :) There are four species of megabats in Australia: the grey headed, the red, the black and the speckled. sadly due to forest clearing we have only 5% of the megabat population left from what it was a century ago.
Order "Chiroptera" [Greek "hand wing" ("chiro" + "ptera"] I just put up a bat house. They eat a stupendous amount of insects. They carved out an ecological niche that even the birds haven't exploited: Nocturnal hunting! Proud to share our mammalian lineage with these fantastic friends.
Before I moved I had bats and they’re so cute!! But fly fast!! I know they’re harmless but I was scared it would fly into me 😂but got a question will bats eat cicadas? Cause they’re annoying and scary looking and gets in my hair.
How about one of us gets a firecracker, lights it up, and tosses in into your bed while you sleep? I hope that, since two yrs have passed, u have grown smarter and more mature. It would be tragic if u didn't- especially if I were to run into you while I had some firecrackers....

That is the greatest bat house I have ever seen and I wish there were more of them all over the United States. I love bats

Bats are cool
The bat on the thumbnail picture is a flying fox, they spend their days hanging in trees in the sun, not hiding in a house.
thanks.
Bats have nothing to do with halloween
Bruh
How is a bat living 30 years like a human living 100 when the oldest bat caught was 44?????
bats are adorable
It really is a privilege seeing bat colonies leaving at sunset, I’ve seen a few times and there’s nothing like it
I love vampire bats but it has also helped appreciate these species of bats
I even see a few bats flying at night.
Funny thing happend to me a couple of hours ago

When I was at Phillip Hines I went to the grave and there was bats and it made loud noise

People associate bats with blood sucking vampires but there are only 3 blood sucking bat species....

Flying horses? So bats are unicorns and unicorns are real.

🌌🌝I ADORE BATS, THEY ARE SO CLEVER AND SWEET🌝🌌
i love science and am doing this for school
I love bats... just not in my house!
Before I moved I had bats and they’re so cute!! But fly fast!! I know they’re harmless but I was scared it would fly into me 😂but got a question will bats eat cicadas? Cause they’re annoying and scary looking and gets in my hair.
4 years late but yes, most insect eating ones will target cicadas too
I'm surprised how open inside is. if mad like house buy store there lot chambers.
Will bats eat honey bees?
Farmercl's Woodshop they’re not really out at the same time so if you have bees and want to build a bat house you don’t need to worry :)
probably not because honey bees aren't active after sunset
1000 mosquitos per bat per evening
Pls how can I start bat farm , am interested in bat farm pls , any one can help me

Anyone came here from the Wuhan virus
Who’s here from Joe rogan? Lol
I would get bats in the bat house then light a m-100 firecracker inside the house
That is borderline psychotic.
not even borderline, it's straight up
