whats with all the getting pumped up about the batman film? do like me and watch stuff like this fruit bats, forget entirely about the movies and be pleasantly surprised when u find out they just came out, saves you lot of worris :P
ATTENTION BAT LOVERS: I was just on newsround's website and apparently there is a disease going around killing more than a million bats (I think it was 1 million) have been killed!! This disease is called "White nose syndrome". It is being called "The Bat Plague"
One day, near halloween, the sky was FILLED with some kind of flying animal. Since they didn't flap their wings that fast, I must have mistaken them for birds. It filled the sky for over an hour miles around. They must have been BATS, then! This was on Long Island, NY.
If you are in America, and If you are irritated at Discovery Networks using such a sub-par performance by a narrator, let them know if they can correct this, bc it is affecting your viewership.
O título realmente diz tudo. Sobre o maior ajuntamento de morcegos ao ar livre no mundo, esse que diariamente acontece em um remoto pântano da Zâmbia.
Para obter as fotografias do espetáculo, uma câmera da BBC percorreu a área (equivalente a dois ou três campos de futebol) transportada por um balão de ar quente. Um helicóptero não conseguiria voar no local durante a revoada de tantos morcegos.
That is correct. No one actually counts them. There are methods of estimation, but the results they give usually look more like "between 6 million and 18 million" with a certain confidence limit. So it would have been more accurate to say: "there are over X bats".
UFOIST - No one counts them. There are averages taken from bats flights by counting how many in one square foot (or something similar) of space and then using math to get a approximate number.
Fantastic film work as always from the BBC. I'm a great fan of the eminent Sir David Attenborough but his claim that, "There are 10 million of them here" is a bit optimistic inho - who counted them?
Cool...but I thought Bracken Cave in Texas, USA, was the largest collection of mammals (and bats) in the world? 20 million or so. I would be curious to know...
