Take a look at how many common bat misconceptions came about and just how vital bats are to our everyday lives.

I sleep under the same roof with a couple of bats…!
Arabic translation please
Megabattie is a channel that shows rescue and rehabilitation of bats. Charming Australian lady !
Fats about bats: 1. They ain't food.
Bats are good for eating but thay may give us some denarius virus.
It is good insecticide for our former.
I must say about bats "thay are good for nature but thay have some side effect for human" And after full study about bats than we have a new conclusion along with the losses from bats, there are many benefits as well and The bats need to be protected because many species of bats are on the verge of extinction.
This vid is more about dracula
This uncle is just so cool… 👍
Fantastic !
It's true bats have got a bad name ,all because of humans.
I did try telling good things about bats in the past, but people who hate bats don't want to hear good things about them.
Now consider the most dangerous animal that certainly causes devastation no matter who/where you are: everybody search for a mirror.
Instead of fearing nature; we must try and understand the need for each animal in their ecosystems! They keep a balance that is essential for a livable and healthy planet. How can we , ourselves contribute to this?
I love how you see almost nothing about the Corona virus except for that dish, and they use viruses instead of virus when talking about bats…
Corona
I love bats, people that say bats caused the pandemic are people that aren't up to date, because covid 19 has an intermidiate host that was probably the pangolin
Images of coronavirus
So proud of the Dr. Rodrigo Medellin and Mexico!!!
Not one mention of rabies. This is dishonest.
Exactly, don't blame the bats because humans are ignorant and will eat just about anything. I mean people didn't go off on monkeys w some due ate a virus ridden one and infected people w Ebola.. I think bats are adorable
This didn't age well
We need them, they dont need us….!!! Bats…are good!!! We are bad..!!!
My teacher when I was a kid told us of one time she left the window open at night and woke up to a bat in her bed. It still makes me shudder…
Bats in What we do in the shadows is kinda cute
PROTECT THE BATS! 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
This tone towards bats is much better than NatGeo's 2012 misinformation that bats are bad. There are many very hardworking volunteers in the United States and Australia who care for and rescue bats on a daily basis. Volunteers. Meaning no government money to save animal where our ecosystem depends on to provide us with food.
Bats are important because they spread coronavirus and control human population grown like a pest.
Wow
I never have fear for the bats, i think they are cute puppies with wings
But don't eat them, you know why
Bats are such cuties! Whoever hurts these precious creatures will get the boot
this didn't age well…
Has nothing against bats, in highschool i had a bat that always somehow found its way into my locker. lol Im still unsure how it kept getting back into it my locker.
