The bats "wings" have identical bones of the human arm and hand, elongated with webbing. Ducks have webbed feet to paddle, swim, and dive and that doesn't bother anyone. The bat forearm bones include the humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges, same as humans. Bat mums nurse their pups carrying their babies with them when they go out to feed. Bats are the only mammal that can fly, evolving to escape numerous predators including snakes. I appreciate bats with the emphasis on bees as pollinators. Inspired by education videos and misrepresentation of bats, I know bats are not just an adjunct pollinator but are considered “keystone species” that are essential to ecosystems. Without bats' pollination and seed-dispersing services, local ecosystems could gradually collapse as plants fail to provide food and cover for wildlife species near the base of the food chain. Most people likely think of the photographs and film of the cave-roosting bats dispersing,, flying out during the evening in large number, again, thinking of the cave dwelling bats, which doesn't often explain that bat guano provides vital nutrients for cave ecosystems, and is often the basis of a cave's food chain. Bat guano is used by micro-organisms and invertebrates, which become food for fish, salamanders, frogs, and other larger animals. bats are under increasing threats from power lines to having been demonized by comic books, movies, and false anecdotes. IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND: Bats cannot fly off the ground, bats 'fall' into flight. The teeth are positioned in the bat's mouth to break through fruit skins and tongue is able to sip nectar in the process of pollinating fruits and plants bees do not pollinate.
In many cases the megabats are the main pollinator of the trees where they live. In Australia , forest trees have evolved brush like blossoms that are optimised to be pollinated by bats and species of honeyeater (bird) , and many bloom at night which leaves only the flying foxes to pollinate them. They are not effectively pollinated by insects. Also the bats can travel 30km in a night and spead the pollen further than any insect.
Bats have ulnar sesamoid bones - effectively an elbow cap , that serves the same increasing leverage function a kneecap serves in the human leg. Bats used their arms for locomotion and need the improvement in efficiency this confers
It looks like they're posing for a cover of a '90s rap album
💀
These guys are just utterly adorable. The little twitching ears and they look like they have smiles. Massive well done for the camera work ❤
The sillies ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Absolutely awesome vid
Beautiful bats!
This is the strangest yet the most cute video I've seen in the channel!
Thank You for this Awesome Bats eye View!!
The Cuteness!!!!!!
I don't think I appreciated how much their ears are like perfect little circles! They seem pretty tolerant of the camera.
You know, these look more like bears with wings than rats with wings.
OMG, I love their little squeals!
Sooooo cute!!! I love bats!
Thank you so much for giving us a wonderful feeling of how it would be if we were a beautiful Flying-Fox. ❤🎉
I love that sound they make, around 0:02
I want to figure out a name for that sound
It's not exactly a Meep, is it? The closest I can figure is Mwah, the sound of a kiss...
@@littleredflying-fox Not quite but I'm just as big a fan of Meep the bat himself
Ugh bats are so cool and cute 😭
They are so adorable. I see them on our property. I have a bat house that I'll be putting up soon. I do hope they find it appealing and put it to use.
Rather grumpy about invasion of personal space 😊
