I really want a pet bat but it would be cruel to keep one without proper training and equipment.

Instead, let's have a bat thread!

I have a fruit bat, but I live on a big ranch. He comes and goes as he pleases.

They do require a bit of specialized setup. We had to build him a roost in the cellar.

Yeah, without a flight cage for proper exercise and the right conditions, bats that would normally live up to 25 years only last about a year. Sad.

I remember studying in the 4th grade about bats and there was one with, like, a six foot wingspan. Does anyone know what kind of bat that is? Did I just imagine it?

>>297677here. I think I was thinking of the flying fox bat which has a wingspan of over four feet. I don't think even little babies could ride on them since they only way about 20 oz.

But damn, they're cute.

Flying foxes are a whole genus of bats.

A malayan flying fox can have a wingspan of 2 meters.

It is the giant golden-crowned flying fox that has a wingspan of over 5 meters.

Thank you for the awesome bat thread. I never really thought about them much before other than that they were kind of cute, but now I fucking love them.

Bats are really fantastic animals. I wish I had the time/money to do some bat rescuing. They pollinate, spread seeds, catch insects, and are just awesome in general.

I was cleaning up outside in my yard after fay, and I pulled down a huge mass of Spanish moss, and a bat flew out.

I felt like shit for waking it up.

Let's see, there are about 900 species of bats (not including Megachiroptera), and like how many "suck" blood? One species? That's like saying niggers aren't lazy because you saw one working at walmart.

I have a whole bunch of bats living in my roof. Every night you can see them leave one by one to go eat insects.

My parents kinda want to get rid of them but I'll be damned before they do!

Look at it this way, it's either awesome winged mammals that are awesome or horrible little insects everywhere. I'm sure if explain it like that they'll understand.

My mother is moving to the country and there are bats in the shed. I'm super excited to go visit her and go bat watching.

Maybe, but I think they're just worried that the bats wold damage the house somehow by living up there. They were talking about getting a bat house.

Lord, my woman wants to set-up a bat house in our yard on the pole joining the clothesline to the house. However, her parents and I are concerned about how some bats can carry rabies... It's been an ongoing battle for about a year, but I'm sure she'll beat the three of us in the end.

Better in a box out in your yard than IN your house! Besides, bats are beneficial in that they keep the mosquito/evil bug population down.

Less than half of one percent of the entire bat population carries rabies.

Once I had a baby bat I found on the street. He was injured by a cat. I bottle feed him for three days and built him an awesome cave in a box. He was really cute and awesome and all, but died from infection the 4th day :'(

are they supposed to be wrapped up like that? i know bats use their wings to cover themselves when they sleep and all but being wrapped like that just seems odd.
