Hats off to some pretty darn good aviators! And besides; the things these guys could teach human air traffic controllers about collision avoidance in thight airspaces... B-)

1:44 bat's evil laugh LOL

[impkitty]

So adorable! I love seeing them play and hang off the Vamplet toy heheh .. OHH when they peek up and look right in the camera like " hi there" soo cute. All the bat talk and bell ringing too much bat fun!! Love the bats and bat world!!

[abyrat]

This is so fascinating! They sound like squabbling children. Some of the noises they make sound almost like laughter. I never realized bats were so vocal.

[dearestjanna]

The ones flapping in front of the camera at 3:17 and 13:52 are so cute and funny. "Look at ME!" The squabbling squeaks are just too much. And the face at 8:20. Like "Hello?" Just a bunch of kids running amok, aren't they?

i Love what you do as an organization. please keep it up. you make my life better, and if you need copy written for free from a veteran, or a journal article based on research written, please let me know, as all writing for Bat World from myself would be a labor of love and free, free, free! bats and humans who realize the importance of chiropteras are my heart (also, I have a master's degree in Rhetoric and Composition :). <3 and xxxx and ooooo! :)

Is anyone else creeped out by all their little glowing eyes in the background?

[MrMentleman]

there flapping sounds like distant machine gun fire

my night was crappy until I saw a 'reminder' that this video was posted and watched it. I never giggled and had such a smile as watching the camera-hogs via for a spot on the camera, flitter in front of it, give 'wing-pit' shots and the chin/snuffle/closeup and so much more!! This is wonderful to watch and sure brightened my night!!! I think 'nosy/curious' would not be what most folks would describe bats until after seeing this proof. Great job!!

[Debbie338]

I was surprised to see so much interest in the camera. They really are clever little creatures, aren't they?

[MikaSorano]

I don't think I've ever heard a bat before. Those squeaks are absolutely adorable!

[petoskystone61]

They sound like scolding squirrels :)

[meleagrisfelis]

This is wonderful. There is so much misinformation about bats that it's nice to see them as playful, curious creatures.

[LeeM501]

My goodness, there sure is a lot of squeaking going on at times...are they all trying to sit on the camera at once? May I ask why they are so intrigued with the camera? Is it because it is new or does it have some lights or sounds coming from its operation?

[BatWorldSanctuary]

@LeeM501. Yes. I think they are squabbling about who gets the best spot on the camera. They are probably attracted to both the blinking light and the fact that it is new.

[hathorearthfyre]
