Bats used to give me the creeps. Having one find it's way into my house, didn't help. I finally caught it with some leather work gloves on and put it outside.
Watching this lady who rescues fruit bats in Australia, nurses them back to health and then releases them made me think that bats aren't that creepy and actually kind of cute.
Most of her videos are less than 5 minutes but she has a LOT of content.
This is one of my favorites.

Nom nom nanners!
She has LOTS of videos of these guys eating all kinds of fruits, but watching them wolf down nanners is pretty damn funny.
I'm a bat lover.
Great article and video.
Have to admit, would love to hold a fruit bat.. they don't look or act menacing at all.
no thanks.
When we lived in Australia we had them roosting in a huge tree right outside of our house.
Come on man, look at that face... LOL
Lol I've taken a couple vacays to the Maldives and those things were everywhere. They are big
yeah, look at those teeth.
camping out in the desert southwest, laying on your back outside at night, you could feel them go past your face while taking out the cloud of mosquitoes hovering over it. a bit unsettling ...
One of the things I like to do is sit in the hot tub in the evening in the Summer..watch the bats pick off all kinds of flying bugs.
I like to watch them at sunset and sunrise in the spring, summer, and fall. It stays pretty warm here until about mid-October.
We used to have one of those table umbrellas on the deck. We had closed it and when we opened it, a tiny brown bat was in there. We stepped back and let it escape
I've always wanted a "bat house" in my yard. Bats are awesome and they're natural mosquito removal for the yard! The ONLY potential downfall is the guano and that's only because I have kids and pets.
Oh... and I think they're cute.
I bought one a few weeks ago, just been kind of lazy about putting it up. If it attracts a lot of bats, I'll install more. Where I am putting them, their crap will fall in the flower garden...win win..
My yard just isn't great for it; that's the only reason we don't have one.
