The truth about bats - Amy Wray
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- From plant pollination to pest control, explore how bats contribute to ecosystems and the importance of protecting bats to reduce the risk of transmitting disease.
--
What flies through the night, silently guarding and protecting our world from evil? Batman? Try... a bat. Like Batman, bats are widely misunderstood and vilified. Amy Wray disproves the myth that bats are dangerous villains and explains why they, instead, deserve a hero's welcome -- and our protection.

That connection between a superhero and an animal was a great visual connection and fun to watch.
indeed.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how fluently they used Batman and all other characters for this video
Definitely one of TEDs' most clever animation so far!
Seeye Tesfa what about Kurzgesagt?
I think with "clever" he means teaching about bats while visually comparing to Batman's lore, Kurzgesagt has ducks and Tardis(es?)
TED's animators are not just 1person, there are many styles of animations. Kurzgesagt only has 1 style.
Don't get me wrong, both are good.
Yup I couldn't say it better
poor you died in car crash
"...help control the real vampires: mosquitos...." - Yet there is still no mosquito-themed villain for Batman. :p
Killer moth :cry in pheromone
They also control insect population growth, so the moth man sounds fitting

Wow you guys really hate learning
Another fact about bat
It shouldn't be consumed .
I repeat never consume a bat
Yes of course
Aniruddha R Yeah
Say that to the guy who ate a pangolin which ate a snake which ate a bat. And started coronavirus 2.
Fun facts with Aniruddha R
Isn't it ironic that the pandemic makes the country where it all started flourish while delivering blow after blow to the US and Europe, it's main economic competitors? That's one smart bat/pangolin, serving the motherland.
So Bats are the hero that humans need, but not the ones they deserve :D
hahaha
not the ones we need right now*

Apurva Jajodia I love this comment

Manthan Chilweri ummm corona didn’t cause corona
I mean bats don’t cause corona
@@chungchang3223 bats did come from corona but not from eating them
they probably touched some cow or sheep which then got to humans

Bats were the origin for this virus.
Not only this but bats carry many other viruses.

bat is hero that human need,but not they deserve...unlike you
hey if anyone wants to see another thing with batman which is hillarious search on youtube for heshe all hero cafe scenes. trust me. they're hillarious.

Cristian Fuller I’m only ganna like ONE corona virus comment because this video is actually very good and this is it lol
Corona virus has come from virology lab wuhan China
@@reenabothra8471 any confirmation?
In my opinion, I don't agree that bats are scary and dangerous but rather the ones who were eating them at a restaurant in a country where this virus started all are the ones who are dangerous. But nice meme tho lol 😂
Yeah who tf asked u to eat them . Bats are not the reason of covid its us

I don't know what's funnier. Batman randomly spouting a bat fact before he stops a crime, or Two-Face being so annoyed by it that he throws a grenade at him as he's in the same room.
I'd pay full price to watch The Dark Knight again if every time Batman showed up, he'd spout a Bat Fact and nothing else.
@@brendondellinger355 make this happen
😂😂 U made my day
I would watch batman if he actually murder a criminal.

I'm blind as a bat.
In other words, I can see just fine.
About 10 years ago, I found a bat in my kitchen. I was surprised that it looked more like a cute mouse with wings than a blood-sucking animal. I called Animal Control and was surprised to see them place the bat it in a ziploc bag which they closed right up. Then I received a call telling me that the bat tested negative for rabies, but it was put to sleep anyways. I mention this because the video advises to call Animal Control, but I doubt they know that some centers would just kill the bat. This is a great video and it's too bad that bats are unnecessarily vilified. I'll definitely share this video with others.
I thought the only way to test for rabbies is to kill the animal. Because rabbies is a disease that affects the brain and you can't tell if an animal has it unless you look at its brain.
Kela Seyh Good point, Kela! What you said did sound familiar. I just read this: www.cdc.gov/rabies/diagnosis/animals-humans.html I remember that Animal Contol said made it sound like if I had been bitten by the bat, I could feel better that I didn't have rabies, as it tested negative. But I hadn't been bitten, so I didn't understand why a test to kill the bat was necessary.
***** The saliva needs to be 'introduced' into our body - usually, but not always, through a bite. Simply touching it will not give you rabies. There are other symptoms to look for as well. :)
i love Bats, they are the cutest little things!
i would say more, but it would be ranting on about how i love them more.
I was bitten in the hand by a wild hamster more than a year ago, after cleaning the tiny wound I called disease control and asked if I need a vaccine. They told me that rabies are found mostly in city wild dogs and cats, and transmit quickly because these animals often fight and survive with bleeding wounds. Smaller animals like hamsters, when encountering rabies carrying dogs and cats, rarely survives so there
's little chance of transmission. In fact the last hamster bite transmit record they have was an infection in the 1980s so I would probably be fine, and I am fine.
Don't know if it's the same with bats. But it can be something similar.
It's amazing to see that this important information has spread to 1,700,645 people now. I hope people continue telling the truth about bats.
This lesson is educational, funny, and touching at the same time!
You know, somebody should use Batman for an animal preservation PSA. In his case it would be bats like in this video. And then Beastboy could be used for a more general one. Bumblebee could be used for one for bees.
Basically, any hero that has an animal or plant based power or motif could be used for really effective PSAs.
I would love to see Bumble Bee do that.
MAKE THIS HAPPEN

what a marvelous concept
well it's a DCent presentation as well
Actually batman came authentically from DC comic, along with superman. I think I don’t need to tell this, do I?

Batman’s from DC but I approve the humor and also you failed
@@HotaruLancelot302 C'mon you know he's also acknowledging it
I am putting up bat boxes for my Eagle Scout Project, and I have learned a lot about bats and their preferences throughout the process. This video is very informative, cool, and helpful to anybody, regardless of their position on bats.
Best way to educate people about Bats. Great work.
One of, if not, the most creative Ted-eds ever created! The pairing of each topic to a batman villaincameo is so witty! This is amazing!!

You forgot one thing... Bats are not meant to be eaten.
LOL

Someone had fun animating this one. Bats are such an asset to us humans and yet even with all this knowledge flowing people still see them as vile creatures. I hope at least one person stumbles across this and earns a new appreciation for these protectors of the night.
CHIROTERA FTW!!
I love how after 17 users, even TED ed, liked this, nobody noticed I misspelled chiroptera.
I used to hate bats but now I love them
how could you hate bats at all?
I love bats when I was saw they look cute
It's partly a cultural thing. In many Asian countries bats are seen as a sign of good luck.
TED-Ed Bat: Bats are helpful to humans.
Corona: I'm about to end this man's whole career.
EleaNoire it’s humans fault to eat bats and other animals.
@@angelishetty3958 so its confirmed that it came from the bats?? idk what's real
@Billie Eilish yes. bat has coronavirus in them. It’s not actually this harmful virus. But this time it jumped from bat to some other species then to human, most of them are say it’s pangolins because it’s common for Chinese to consume them including bats and other wild animals.
@@angelishetty3958 yikes I mean why eat the bats...
@Billie Eilish they believe it has medical benefits. Now they are eating bear bile to cure coronavirus and asking the world to do so.
One minute i click on a vídeo called "I'm batman"
at 4:10 I'm almost crying because humans are destroying our planet.
Well, that was something.
Bats are as cute as dogs, they shouldn't die.
Yea I don't know why people are scared of them they're really cute
+Hugo Victor IKR
+Hugo Victor yeah it's very right I onlyy wish i could make 1
once a baby bat came to my house, it did that for 3-4 days . I realized that it like my home so I planed on feeding it, don't blame me its so tiny and cute. Unfortunately I never saw it again.hope it is happy and with it's mama :)
As if u have come from Krypton!
"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
They use proper villain to understand the concept, its awesome!!!
Imagine when the Joker saw this.

DAME YOU TED
WHY DIDNT YOU MAKE ONE ABOUT meeeee.......... :(
HHAHAHAH
I swear, if I have a kid in the future, I'm gonna let him/her watch all the Ted ed videos
So true im going to do that to 😂😂😂😂😂
But that particular video is way to scarry visually and in its chracterdesign though
YES
Let? Why would someone not let their kid watch these videos.
SAME!!! 💯😍
"Bats are real heroes" 😃 I love this, thanks for the wonderful edutainment, Ted-Ed 🙏🏼
This video reminds us that ecosystems are very fragile, connected webs. Disturb one strand, and the whole thing falls apart.
Ehsactly.
Fruit bats are the cutest thing I've ever seen ...........
They're so cute and cuddly.
If batman asked the mobius chair what is the cutest thing of all animals it would answer bats
Vampire bats are also characterized by being very sympathetic. As an evolutionary strategy they share food with other bats that are hungry, as an attempt to make friends that will share their food later too.
THATS SOO WHOLSOME

They synced the voiceover with Batman 😂
Man i love TED-Ed. Makes the best informative videos on youtube.
When i was kid i watch thousands of bat flying every sun set. But today most of them gone ☹️
Cool! I never knew the narrator of these educational videos is actually a talking bat!
One of the best videos of Ted in the way of presenting a topic in such an interesting and surprising way. Hats off!
This video is clever as fack.
it's spelled fact not fack
no offence tho
@@mikhaelhose2848 He meant "f***" but I think you knew that... 😂
I knew fack from school, old friend, nice but a bit of a smart alec. You know the type.
Can't curse in a learning channel
This should be “Science through the eyes of a bat”
I wish I could make every single person on earth to watch all of Ted ED's video. I sent some of them to 9gag TV but it didn't get any attention from the public. Anyone please spread this message to as many as possible.
maybe try reddit instead?
Thanks Don Draper!
Couldn't agree more (y)
Don Draper 4chan is better

Dead Bats: It’s corona time
Lol
That’s not how the coronavirus started. But true, bat livers are an ancient Chinese medicine that was thought to help the immune system. \_^_^_/
Please don’t sing the song
I love bats. I'm going build many bat houses along the fence next to the neighbors.
Me too
(4 months later) did you do it?
+HAHAHAHAHA HAHAر
(+4 more months) Please update about your bat house
+jackooki lvhan
I can dream. I cannot afford a home.
Neglected to mention one of the most important supports for bats. They're adorable little sky puppies.
I had a bat in my apartment once. I called my city's Animal Control (as directed by this video) and they came quickly. However, they did not humanely handle it. They snatched it with their stick grabber thing so violently, I swear it seriously injured the poor creature. The whole experience still bothers me. Poor bat.
Yeah, unfortunately that is what they will always do. :( To test it-which means kill it.
Oh god, I'm totally moved at last, how can a video be funny and touching at the same time 😭
It's the little details in the video that make it apparent this was made by a Batman fan. Excellent animation!
That was really informative and using batman animation helped a lot and made it a lot more interesting
"Some people just want to watch the world burn". This video is awesome.
brilliant video guys.. whoever created this deserve a medal.. awesome...
Bats are the heroes that we need, but not the ones that we deserve
Like Jesus
Really good animation and education, TED ED is what my SDT and LOGIC teachers put. I always watch TED ED after I finish my homework
I loved how you worked all of the Batman lore into this wonderful presentation. Another way to help save bats is to stop using vast wind turbine farms as they are responsible for the death of over half a million bats every year. For those interested in a better green alternative (as those turbines are hardly green to begin with) I suggest thorium nuclear reactors which use a non-fissile element to power the reactor core.
DemitriVladMaximov wind turbines are renewable energy sources that give people energy without polluting the earth
The wind turbines do not give as much power as they are supposedly seen to give. It would take a turbine farm the size of Texas to power the world with wind energy. It is not as efficient as other green alternatives
@@space_lemonz4561 that's not bad at all if it powers the whole world ://
@@pia1945 id say its because of the near impossible amount of resources and the money that, if it was in Texas, America wouldn't have. Iirc, i saw a Prager U ad that stated that nuclear energy, if used properly, is the worlds best form of energy to farm, but least popular cause there is no good way to remove the byproducts(we have a bunch of examples about that), and we've seen the horrors of what nuclear power can do if it fails at any given point(another event we've unfortunately seen a bit of in recent history)
I don't know why people are so scared of them. They're like a combination of Cocker Spaniels, Chinchillas and Chihuahuas! They're so cute and cuddly looking!
Same. They're like little Pterodactyls!
They are in fact very gentile creatures who do indeed do a lot of good.
When I was a kid I found a bat disorientated on the ground. It got blown by a strong wind into the side of my house.
I ran inside, put on gloves and scooped him up. That little bug bat is still one of the cutest wild animals I ever handled. I placed him into a tree then watched him fly away a few min later
Seeing this video during Corona-Virus Pandemic is really hard!
When I was still a kid, a bat once flew into my room. I quickly took the lightest blanket I had and threw it over the bat, as it flew around in circle. I then set it free outside, it felt like I did something heroic. ^...^
you did man
NUUUU BAD BOIZ
Good thing you didn't kill it.
I have to say this is probably the best production I've ever seen from Ted-ED
I laughed way too hard when the bat ate the insect at 1:15
Papergi
That sound
*gulp
A real hero whom we don't know but we do always need.
One of the best TED-Ed videos, excellent job guys :D !
I never thought that way. I am gonna share this one.
16 sodium atoms walk into a bar, followed by batman.
NANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANA BATMAAAAAN!!!!
Ohhh that's clever.. because y'know Na is the chemical signature for sodium!
+Sketch Productions, and that's how you ruin a joke.
This joke is to die for xDD
I get it know!!! 16 sodium atoms means 16 Na's, because Na is the symbol for sodium. This means Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Batman, which are the lyrics for batman's theme song.
It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
Came here expecting a video about Batman. did not receive Batman. Was not disappointed though.
Now I know why Batman made himself Batman even though he was scared of bats.
Searched "Amy Wray" on google images... Was a surprise to say the least, not disappointed tho.
Why?
Hehehe
Steve Fennelly I have a feeling they aren't same...but maybe they are...
I see what you did there
Oh, this has to be one of the most memorable Ted Ed videos I’ve ever seen.
What an amazing video, I got tricked into learning and have zero regrets :D great animation
What a great way to teach a lesson :D
That was cool. Can we get spiders with Spider-Man next? :-)
Spider-Man doesn't really like spiders, tbh
a nice concept, though!
T_T
0:29 No! I love listening to bats when they come to my yard for mangoes and sometimes they look adorable. One day there was a bat flying at night in a part of the university and it happened just when other girls were walking, I said to my boyfriend: Look how nice (Because it looked small for the size I am used to seeing them) and the Girls who were first scared of the bat stared at me with displeasure.
What's this bat talking about at the beginning? I love bats. Bats are wonderful. A lot of them are adorable.
Ingenious and creative way to educate people about Bats! Did anyone catch Commissioner Gordon, Pamela Isley, Harvey Dent and Jack Napier?
wow!
this video must be projected into schools and rural communities for children education

That was one of the best TED-Ed videos I've seen. Very good timing as well, as a lot of people's misconception towards bats have gone too far after Ebola. Some still persists in this comment section, and I don't even know if they watched the video.
GENIUS NARRATIVE AND ANIMATIONS 🤯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I had a bat come through my chimney, i called my neighbor which he caught it, then we let it loose back out side. Who would want to kill it.?. It was lost, it didnt need to die because it got trapped inside my house. I watched the batman video, im glad i did. I learn facts i never knew before.
You are the real superhero
0:46 : It’s cool that batman has a computer that could tell you different types of bats
2:02 batmans like nope
bats and bees are important in this world, I'll make it my mission to help
we better get this message to the public or we're going to eat crappy fruits and higher pests population in the future
I love how they used Batman to characterize their points. Excellent job Ted-Ed 👍
U Said it twice
Loved the presentation - great! This is what I call EDUTAINMENT!
spelling.
best channel for gaining knowledge ,thank s a lot
1:45min. Is poison Ivy thinking about... "pollynating" with the Batman?...That lucky billionaire, playboy, phylanthropist, ninja, detective, chemist, JLA member,...
