    I remember when i was a kid in the 70s the sky was cover by them, every direction i look i saw bats flyng. In the 80s i start to see fewer of them and in the 90s they were gone ,millions of velvety bats gone in 20 years. I really miss them and i know that nobody will ever see that again. I feel really lucky that i witnessed that as a kid. I am gratefull for Dr Tuttle for saving millions of bats in these days when the destruction of the planet is extreme to say the least.

    My almost 3 year old has a fascination with bat's. Asked what pet she'd like to have... She said a bat so here we are and honestly thank you. I've never liked bats and I didn't even realise it was because of the negative stigma about them. I appreciate all this knowledge.

    I appreciate this video so much. I've just only come to really get to know bats, and they are truly amazing, beautiful creatures. We used to see the bats (micro) come out at dusk, but I've noticed a decrease in sighting during the last couple of years. I credit that to the building of more houses in my area, and a decrease in "housing" for them. I've discussed this with my spouse, and after a good arm twisting (kidding, of course), we've decided to place a couple of bat boxes on our property. As we only have a couple of acres, I figure we can support two in the back of my lot, since there isn't anything there. There are plenty of insects here to support them, since there are still a few farms close by. If they do eat mosquitoes, BINGO - added benefits. I have other plans for further action, but those will be in the (I hope not too distant) future. Thank you again for this wonderfully informative video, I feel like it was much needed.

    In CT, USA. We had bats living in our roof. Neighbours came asking to kill them because of rabies. They believed that it is enough to have a bat with you in the same room to catch it. And we are talking about well educated people. Now back in Australia, the problem is a bit different. We cut trees like there is no tomorrow, fires burn what we do not cut, and the heat wave killing them in summer. It's heart breaking to see. We are installing shelters for them and providing them water in summer. But this is too little compare to the magnitude of damage

It’s their instincts to survive, and they need food to survive. Some insects, like mosquitoes, can spread diseases to humans, and even other animals. Bats help prevent that by eating thousands of them. Many bat species are endangered too. Bats mainly eat moths and beetles, not all moths and beetles are endangered, and mosquitoes do no good.

      Thanks I’m so glad you liked the video! That’s completely understandable! The key I think is to better proof our houses so wildlife can’t get in, but also to be more tolerant of wildlife in their environments. (Like for example, by using less pesticides). For bats, putting up a bat house is a great way to encourage them to move out of your house, but also accepting them nearby at a safe distance :) I recommend BatBnB.com for bat houses :)

I'm afraid of getting rabies that way because i've seen bats in my yard and i saw one a little before dusk and i worry it might have rabies now. Also i read about one guy in Vancouver that got rabies from a bat hitting him on his hand at random, so i'm scared ever since

    • @WanderingPathProductions
      @WanderingPathProductions  2 года назад +1

      Hi, great question. Getting rabies from bats is actually really really rare! Worldwide, it’s more likely to get rabies from a dog. The only way you could get it is if a wild animal bites you. Never touch an animal on the ground because if it is on the ground, it is more likely to be sick. Most healthy bats flying around do not have rabies because if they are sick with rabies, they die within a week and research shows that they usually don’t pass it on to the other bats in their colonies.
      Also while bats fly in patterns that look erratic to us, they are actually quite precise flyers (you’d have to be to catch mosquitoes!) so it is unlikely that they would run into you. It’s safe to have bats in your yard. If you ever did somehow touch a bat, go to the hospital immediately and ask for a rabies shot and you will be ok.
      Dr Merlin Tuttle told me that you’re more likely to be killed by a dog or your spouse, so if you’re brave enough to get married and own a dog, you shouldn’t worry much about bats. Bats live all around us peacefully without us noticing.
      I hope this helps :)

    Makes me sad that ignorance is what it’s going to be the overall end for a lot of things because people are too stupid and lazy to actually go out and learn.

      channel 13 It does exist today, but only 1-2 people die from it a year in the USA, out of tens of millions. If someone gets bit by any wild animal, they should definitely get a rabies shot. As long as people aren’t handling or coming into direct contact with wild animals, they have little reason to fear. :)

      @@planetaustraliachannel Yes but less than 2 percent of all bats at max. On top of that a rabid bat will exclude themselves far from their colony and others and will die quickly and alone after they are infected with rabies. Even sick bats exclude themselves from the colony until they have recovered. Bats are harmless and are highly valuable. You are far more likely to be bitten by a rabid dog, raccoon or cat. A good rule of thumb is do not ever catch or handle bats especially if they are on the ground. Only trained, vaccinated and licensed individuals should have any contact with a bat. Oh and it is a federal offense to kill a bat or destroy their habitats. Automatic felony per bat. The government has ways to find out. Instead put up a bat house or two about fifteen feet high on a post or pole at the back of your property and enjoy being outside at night and not being raided by tons of mosquitoes and other pesky insects. It's a win win for all.
