Cutest Bats


 
I´m a bit lazy today and leave you with these cuties. 
 
Ingo was still living in Rhüden when after a BBQ  I put the plates inside to find (speaking of lazy) the next morno a poor bat under  one.

Ingo took the poor fella and hung it in a tree.
He/she managed to cling there and later the cutie pie was gone, hopeflly safe!

I'm not with you, they scare me!

Iris Flavia said...

Nooo, they are cute! Just look at the sweet faces!
They´re called Flying Foxes in Australia, if that helps you find them cute.

Sami said...

They are cute, but they still scare me :)

Iris Flavia said...

They are cute, Sami. And harmless. And did I mention cute?

Ingo said...

If I see them in Australia, I feel home! But here in Germany I can't see them ( so tiny), but can hear them with my bat detector :-) Was fun!

Iris Flavia said...

And cute. And wonderful. A warm German summer night... and the bats are flying through.

Tom said...

...a bat isn't something that I think of as being cute!

CJ Kennedy said...

Cutie is in the eye of the beholder.

Iris Flavia said...

Tom.... like flying foxes, or dogs :-)

CJ... yes!
Their fur is soft. So sweet.

Good that they are taken care of.

I like bats. Unfortunately here most of our native bats are gone due to the white fuzzy nose fungi. It doesn't hurt the bats directly, but messes them up so they come out in the winter and can't stay warm. I only saw one last summer and I used to see so many. Too bad too because not only are they cute, but they help so much with the bugs at night. I like this post Iris. Thanks for sharing. hugs-Erika

I love bats. A few years ago I found in my garden a young bat that had fallen from its nest. After giving him some milk, I took him to the bats center in Rome.
The day after I bought two bat nests that I placed under the roof.

I love bats!!! They are so good for our world and so misunderstood. Great videos.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

The videos were blocked on my computer, possibly because I'm not on facebook.

Bill said...

I've never seen one live and that's ok.

Jeanie said...

I'm fine, not adding them to my life!

Amypie71 said...

I've never ever seen one but apparently we have native ones here.

Thanks for the cute bat movies. I like batrs, and so does my youngest. We have no flying foxes (calkled flying dogs in Danish ;) ) only normal brown ones around. That baby-bat was adorable!

I like bats, we have a large colony living near the zoo, you walk past and they are hanging in the trees by the hundreds, there are signs everywhere to not walk directly under the trees because the bat poop can make you sick and more signs saying do not feed the bats. Last I heard the colony had some sort of health problem that could be transmitted to humans. I remember taking photos of them hanging, I should find it and post it one day.
In my previous home I was outside just at sunset and saw a small colony of tiny bats swooping and darting, getting insects, right in my front yard, but only once and never again.

Iris Flavia said...

William, yes, ow, such cute ones.
