Picture Stories #162 - Photographing Bats 🦇
Bats happen to be very unique and intriguing creatures - they are the only mammals capable of sustaining a true flight and I guess I've an unusual connect with them for the reason that I happen to like vampires as well as Batman 😀. Before taking these pictures, I had never encountered bats so up close and personal other than the occasional stray bat that flies past me every now and then within the office premises. I found out that bats sleep in the upside down position as shown by this little fella in the photos so that they can easily fly away in case of emergencies like during an attack. Isn't that cool!
Bats have become infamous for being associated with Count Dracula and Vampires, however it is known that these creatures seldom bite human beings.
Have you encountered a bat closely?

Ah, he might very well be the batman :) But Bruce Wayne has a mansion so wonder why he is hanging upside down and sleeping :P
lol maybe the mission is to sleep :)
Yes probably. Everything in the world right now is a little slow, so maybe yes the current mission might as well be just to sleep :)
If I were a bat I think I fall from the tree when I fall asleep, having that ability is incredible
haha, funny :)
They breastfeed. Now that's amazing!!

It is amazing! I didn't know that.
I know huh?
Kinda weird cuz they don't just sit down and do it...idk how that can be done hanging upside down lol. Oh well.
Joy
yup, mammals do that! :)
really the bat is batman 😁😁
Did you lure them in by hanging the fruit? :D I remember when I was a kid, I woke up one morning and saw a bat stuck in between the windows of our apartment :) We waited until night time and then helped it fly out :D
no they were just sleeping like this at a bird park :D that's a nice thing to do...
It is a truth there are a lot of stories about bats and they always were a part of mystery or horror movies.
I was always fascinated with the fact that bats navigate themselves via Ultrasound that they send in order to "see".
The photogrpahs that you posted shown melons, I have never thought that bats like fruits too and decided to have a nap at the snack bar :)
yes, there are fruit bats but there were other animals around eating the fruits too...
bats that eat fruits 😂😂😂
yup, there are different kinds of bats ;)
Wow! I presume it's a fruit bat and the fruit is hung to feed it?
could be, but there were other animals around feeding on it too :)
It's look quite big! How long you have to wait for him to take a shot?
🌶
luckily, they were just hanging when i went :)
Nice! 😉
I do not love bats....
I hate them..
