MrKapustahead
Try to sleep while bats are flying around in your bedroom. You'll understand.
Talonotw
I have cats who like to play tag at 3am. it's annoying, not terrifying.
TalkingDustBunny
You should try having one land in your hair at night. When you're sleeping.
kreyll
Well that's just being startled, tho. I wouldn't call it the same thing.

Most flying creature scare the shit out of me so that's pretty much it.

Because they can asymptomatically carry a zoonotic virus that is 99.99% fatal when contracted by a human.

This bat was saved by Bat World Sanctuary in TX. They are currently helping some injured bats that were beaten with a cane by an old lady.

Too bad most of the micro bats in eastern North America are going extinct due to white nose fungus.

OK bats creep me out but this is adorable.
dippydoda
it rocking and feeding are adorable, then gets a lil creepy when those wings pop out.

If you think if them as mammalian dragons, then the wings won't be as creepy.

An orphaned bat? I think I've heard a similar story before....

Funfact: In German bats are called "Fledermaus" which means "flying mouse"
clubfootjohnnyjohnson54
Not unlike this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Fledermaus
Bob423
I am vengeance. I am the night. I. am. Flying Mouse Man!
psein
Funfact 2: In Finnish they are called Lepakko, which comes from two words, flapping dog. The word itself sounds like flapping, kinda cool.
the12thletter
To the Fledermausmobil!
pwnz805
Same in Ukrainian
MelanomaCanSuckATurd
That is indeed a FUN fact thank you!
Einstein9073
I mean, they're not wrong.
Flyndaran
Bats are more closely related to primates than rodents.
thegriffin88
Well it's not wrong.
rebutters
Also an appropriate name for cockatiels and other small, erratic, fluttering things.
carlatte
Microchiroptera is their scientific name
xzwai
In Finland bats are called "lepakko" which means nothing. But it comes from word "flying dog".
lobstasalad9095
There is a Flying Dog brewery in Colorado, USA
TonninStiflat
No. It stems from "lepattaa" - "to flutter". You could translate it as " Flutterling".
xzwai
Ah, okey. I misunderstood the page I got that.
TonninStiflat
Lentäväkoira is a species of bat though :)
xzwai
Yup, just found out. :D
Dominian
Fleder doen't mean fly. It's more close to "Flattern" which means "flutter" but since it has wings, it's also "batting" those. Same words.
CirclejerqueDuSoleil
I learned this from The Tick. one of the characters is a Batman ripoff named Die Fledermaus.
melodiesfrommars
in french: "chauve-souris" and literally mean "bold mouse"

In Estonian it's "nahkhiir" skin-mouse. :D
Rudegoblin
The old English word for bat is the same - flittermouse. HOW FUCKING CUTE IS THAT.
PolarBlair924
It's probably because English is a a Germanic language.
Tuoni
In Spanish "murciélago" derivates from latin meaning "blind mouse" (although bats aren't really blind, they just don't use their eyes much).
DevonGronka
Fun fact: in English bats are called "bats", which means "bats".
lobstasalad9095
I'm not bats. YOUR bats. They're bats.
FuseyTV
in Dutch they're called Vleermuis, where Vleer can mean Winged, so "winged mouse". According to a dictionary, because vleer is hardly used.
WhoTheFuckisGavin
I was pondering what "vleer" meant and scrolled down hoping someone would explain (too lazy to google).

In Swedish: Fladdermus - Flapping Mouse

Now in Danish that sounds more like "flat mouse" which made me chuckle

Fun fact: In America when someone is nuts, we say that he's "bats*it crazy." This comes from ...I have no idea why we say this!

Reach out to animal rehab facilities. A lot of them take volunteers and they can get you pointed int he right direction if you want to rehab
witsd
Put on a bat costume, then ring the doorbell of a sanctuary and pretend to be injured.
LobaDelEste
Get licensed as a wildlife rehabber. Closest other thing is be a vet tech in a hospital that does wildlife. We get bats sometimes.
FINISHTHETITLE
Are you licensed? I'd love to pick your brain about it
dogface
I'm licensed in the state of Texas to rehab small mammals and am happy to answer questions! Licensing varies a LOT depending on the state
dogface
(For example put very simply: good luck even touching a raptor in Texas, but in Arizona? Help birds, stay away from mammals.)
LobaDelEste
Nah. I'm a vet tech though and our clinic doubles as a charity organization for wildlife. I've worked with squirrels, birds including
LobaDelEste
Raptors, foxes, fawns, porcupines, snapping turtles, etc. It's definitely interesting. Most of the bats we get though have had human or
LobaDelEste
Animal exposure so legally we have to euthanize them and send them in for rabies testing. I'm always happy when we get to save one instead.
ecodude
You can apply in some areas to be a wild animal husbandrist. You basically raise injured or orphaned baby animals then release them.
FelixTheCAT5e
You need your vampire apprenticeship from Dr Acula.
scurve
From now on, no more of this clever name bullshit. When a vampire's pretending to be a human they can just call themselves Alan or something
FelixTheCAT5e
Excuse me, but Dr Acula has worked his ass off getting his PhD in vampiric studies. He is the only human to complete the program successfuly
scurve
Why the fuck would he name himself after a famous vampire movie? Was he doing a bit?
AxelBeingCivil
You have to get very comfortable with cleaning bat poop.
dogface
Lil Drac was rehabbed by https://batworld.org You generally don't get paid to be a wildlife rehabber... you pay to do it :)
Dommichu
Absolutely. Rehab and rescue is not the path to riches. You really have to be passionate about it.
youotterbekittenme
You can volunteer at Wildlife rehab places, or go for a B.S. in wildlife biology. Try wfscjobs.tamu.edu for opportunities!

I think some species of bats do eat mosquitos. I think Grey bats might eat them
TCTom
Many species of bat do. It's really cool to watch at dusk here in northern Michigan.
Turtleproof
Hell yeah! I was launching some model planes at dusk, the bats would strike at them. Not mad at all, rage on bat brothers.
mararb
Hey, stop. Mosquitoes are people too, you know
TrustMeImTheDoctor
I wish something would evolve into liking Stink Bugs. Those things are taking over, but nothing wants to eat them bc of the "stink" gland
MasterOfMissingno
Bats do eat stink bugs! At least I know that Big Browns do. And they live all over the place.
TrustMeImTheDoctor
Woah! I didn't know that. I had to look it up to see for myself. Very cool!
Turtleproof
Dogs eat turds, they'll probably eat stink bugs too.

TinyLiehon
Why not Zoidberg?
Smayds
Because then we would have to live with Zoidberg, and his musk is far worse than stink bugs.
TinyLiehon
It's worse in the other males of his species
onecattwocatbigcatsmallcat
and malaria, zika, on and on
jazzchameleon
Do diseases like that infect the bats that ear infected bugs?
onecattwocatbigcatsmallcat
The mosquitoes carry the diseases and transmit it to human. The bats eat mosquitoes. They are awesome.
jazzchameleon
But do the bats get infected? Will the zika virus kill of the bat population?
AdorableTinyKitties
I hope it doesn't, bats are awesome little flying puppies

We already have crop dusters of mosquito poison in the spring, the problem is just that the things that eat mosquitos are dying off.
viking15
Mosquitoes aren't a keystone species though m deleting them would have a negligible effect. Or so I've been led to believe.
zlds
... You mean a veterinarians work?
Selerox
With Zika rampaging across the world, less mosquitoes is a very very good thing.
Corona688
Certain kinds of bats, certainly not all bats
SarifRuwood
We still have spiders and other bug eating creatures to combat the mosquito pop, so no drowning, but there will be a noticeable increase.
Spongybunny
But add in the warming climate and mosquitoes will spread to places they didn't live before and they'll be there for longer in the year.
ImTheOneWhoTookYourRug
True, but the sheer quantity is necessary. One little brown bat can eat 1,000 mosquitoes per night.
ecodude
Which can each have hundreds of babies, until we have an extreme overpop of mosquitos.
ImHonestonhowIseethings
you know I've been thinking about get a few bats to live around my area so I dont have to deal with those little blood suckers during summer
carolinareaperapostle
If you're in an area that is good for them, dragonflies are good too as they prey on mosquito larva.
LetsDoTheTimeWarpAgain
You can get bat boxes to encourage them to live near you! https://batconservation.org/help/bat-houses/ or NWF has a guide to make your own
UnpopularOpinionPuffinPersonified
Earth is a protected wildlife preserve. We're using it to rebuild the mosquito population which need I remind you, is an endangered species.

Frogs are going too. They don't eat as many as bats, but they eat lots of other insects as well.
carolinareaperapostle
And bonus karma for stocking frogs and other amphibians as their populations have been rapidly decreasing as well.
