I really liked the dialogue wrapper on this very educational video. You're making such in-depth videos! The vampire bat teeth facts were completely new to me. And the "what to do if a bat is in your house" guide is just a good thing to exist in the world. I'm still so happy to be subscribed to this channel. Every video is worth watching!
Thank you Steve. I am sure you will be excited when the hoatzin video comes out. It is actually done, but I am making this series backwards, to make my workflow better, never do that by the way, bad decision. -JJ
Bats are among my favorite mammals, and seeing vampire bats in the wild is a huge goal of mine. I find their social behavior very interesting, and Evan and I actually know and have gone herping with Dr. Gerald Carter, as he is a professor at our university. You did a great job breaking down the misconceptions that surround bats, you presented very poignant data and really explained how misguided those myths are well. Great work! - Harrison and Evan
That is awesome. Was glad to kind of make something out of my vampire bat footage outside of the opening to the rainforest conservation video. Though I guess common vampire bats are kind of competitive with the other smaller species and take over roosts, so their expanding populations have some negative consequences, but yeah anything to control vampire bats impact on human or livestock health has to be done in a way that doesn't hurt other bat species
My in-laws were on a commercial cave tour when a bat got completely tangled in a woman's beehive hairdo. It took the guide and some other brave souls several harrowing minutes to untangle it without being bitten or injuring it. Years later, while the wife and I were on a tour of the same cave, a kid reached up and touched a bat on the ceiling, which caused it to go crazy and start flying around everybody's head. This caused a tremendous panic among all the group and a lady fell and scraped her knee. LOL!!! These days that particular commercial cave is out of business. I guess they surrendered it over to the bats.
man, im from the philippines, and a bat, or part of it flew/touched my hair accidentally because it was trapped in a room. Really scared if it was rabid and if it unknowingly bit me or scratched me via the contact, but doctors in the ER wont give me a rabies shot due to not having any evidence of open wound, cuts, or bleeding in my scalp. :/ We dont have vampire bats however in the Philippines, just fruit bats. huhu
Hope no micro bites or scratches occured, I get it though, I even have the vaccine and was bitten by a bat when working with them for scientific research and really triggered my hypochondria.
