  • nice fight thanks

  • very interesting thanks

  • ITS SOOOO CUTE!! ^.^

  • i mean eating your own cousin

  • that looked so wrong

  • False vampire bats are actually more closely related to fruit bats than to Microchiroptera. Like, they even have binocular vision and black eyes so them can hunt mice and frogs in total darkness without using echolocation whatsoever.

  • i know it been said a million time but this time i mean it

    DAMN NATURE YOU SCARY!!!! O_o

  • Bat eats Bat , Bat is inside Bat , Batception!

  • This is not a vampire bat. I cannot believe what sloppy job NatGeo is increasingly doing. This is a carnivorous species!

  • @medellinvampyrum calm down you batster :P

  • Anyone else thought the narrator was getting a little hammy at the end? Granted, if I were talking about bats eating eachother, I'd probably get hammy too.

  • That's my ex!

  • haha thought ozzy was tho only one who ate bats head off wow

  • Dont mess with nAture

  • 0:28 Planet of the Apes Shit right there!

    0:53 Hey, Hey, What the Fuck man, this is some grusome shit, "Damn nature you Scary"

  • @FlipperBoidSkua

    Indeed. A very, very naughty bat.

  • the wrinkled face bat must of scraped his face on the groung when he tried to fly as a baby

  • cute

  • Okay, who else started to laugh when it saw the wrinkle faced bat?

  • Now Crobat , use Bite on Zulbat !

    *Zulbat fainted*

  • OMG!!!!!!!!!!

  • Its Goth, doing what Goth does best... KILLING THINGS IN THE NAME OF ZOTZ :D

  • enough of the D nature you scary

  • this is like when a goth meets a raver,

    the great goth swoops in when the raver least expects it,

    using their powerful fangs and nails to rip apart the raver,

    try as he might the raver cant get away and is Devoured by the beast of the night,

    afterwards the goth makes whooping howls if victory to the moon,

    this attracts other goths to the kill and they war over whats left of the body,

    [i luv goths XD]

  • Die devil bird -Ace Ventura, Pet Detective

  • D*mn nature,you scary!

  • Favourite animal ever since I was a little girl

  • OH MY FREAKING ZOTZ ITS GOTH

  • don't think nature came out from Itselfs, like most stupid atheist think.

  • @SSTK1982 lol

  • @SSTK1982 , what do you mean?

  • "Evoking Images of Dracula," "Blood-thirsty"?? LOL :|

    This is not a vampire bat, it's not even drinking blood. Wow, what a major mess-up for an animal feature piece. Oh, and for people yelling "cannibal," think about that next time you see a hawk eating a smaller bird. It's the same thing. Did I just blow your mind? ;) Anyway, cool clip!

  • @wingedsonar

    My guess on why ppl say "Cannibal"

    In the 1997 Novel series Silverwing, the character Goth was a Vampirum spectrum, and he was a cannibal.

    Your name... its familiar...

  • Comment removed

  • @igotbored44 Though "Silverwing" is a fun book series, it's fantasy, and the term "cannibal" is outdated for bat-eating bats.

    When a hawk eats a chicken, that's a bird eating a bird. When a hornet eats a butterfly larva, that's an insect eating an insect. Same difference, but they are not cannibals. And in scientific truth to their relation with one another, a false vampire bat is about as closely related to a ghost bat as that hawk is to the chicken it hunts.

    Where'm I familiar from? Curious.

  • @wingedsonar

    I never said it was cannibalism, but people just like saying it because of Silverwing (my theory) Its like saying "This Is Sparta" when someone gets mad and kicks down a computer or table.

    I always saw Ghost bats and Vampyrum to be very similar. They are in the same subfamily, I think.

    I remember where your name is from. Deviantart, you own a group on it.

  • @igotbored44 Ah, I get ya, an expression. You said "he was a cannibal," meaning cannibalism, so I didn't know you meant "people say he was a cannibal because of the book."

    And yep, that's me.

  • @wingedsonar

    Well, I don't mean that the books spread lies and stuff. Its a great series. It was actually fairly acurate. (You probably already know this.)

  • @igotbored44 Oh not at all, they were fun to read! Especially "Darkwing."

    The term's outdated, but let's face it, it's more exciting for readers. Everyone uses it. I was only adding it because this said "vampire bat" and mentioned Dracula and the other stereotypical nonsense. It's hardly as big a misconception as those. If anything, at least the footage shows what they really hunt some of the time.

  • @wingedsonar

    I agree with everything you just mentioned.

    One thing that really bothers me is that seemingly everyone says that all bats are vampires, even though that out of the 1200+ species, only 3 drink blood. When I hear this, I want to slam my head into a wall over and over. Once I hear it, i cannot Unhear it.

  • @igotbored44 Don't slam it too hard for there to be one less person who knows better, eh?

    Heck, even some of my books don't know which is a vampire bat. There are insect eaters from North America labeled as vampire bats because they look like FALSE vampire bats. It doesn't get much sillier as that. Two mess-ups for the price of one.

    In retrospect...this video's flops are pretty minor in comparison. O_o

  • @wingedsonar

    Dang, really? What book was that?

    N. American vampire bats eh? Thats new. Lol.

    Its strange, JUST BECAUSE it has a pointy nose, they automatically label it as a vampire bat.

  • That wrinkle bat is FUGLY!!

  • @Seeno321

    You shut your mouth! HES BEAUTIFUL! :D

  • dam you nature you scary

  • Damn NATURE YOU SCARY!

  • omg... I love bats... and this is pretty cool/gruesome... but i have to say wrinkle face bats are U G L Y ! ! ! ! ! ! no offense... :)

  • i love national geographic plus i love science!!!! i started watching this 6 yr.s ago when i was seven now i'm 10!!!!!!! i always watch this channel at i think everyday i get upset every time i can't see science channels

  • @pinkguitargal10 You should start doing some math to =).

  • This is a new one on me. The vampire bat is well named!

  • Well this is not a vampire bat, its a false vampire bat. The vampire bat is much smaller, with little ears. But its funny because their scientific name is Vampirum spectrum, and the real vampire bat's is Desmodus rotundus :P just a cool random tid bit...

  • I see how the wrinkle bat got its name O...O

  • wrinkled FACE lol

  • Sweet!

  • I love the narrator!

  • THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • so cute !

  • "Damn nature, you scary!" -Family Guy

  • cool

  • i just red darkwing

  • That bat is twitching worse than Zoidberg when somebody mentions the word food.

    whaa? *starts looking around hungrily* *drool*

  • Bats allowed for the creation of sonar.

    Seriously the military only discovered this shit in the late 1950's by studying bats and adapting technology at the times for echo location. ^_-

  • just like silverwing! the false vampire bat is the same as goth!

  • yeah! when i saw this, first thing i thought of was goth. he's so awesome, fav character in the silverwing series!

  • lmao a wrinkleface bat

  • I want the vampire bat as a pet.

  • yea until he starts licking your blood at night and you can't even feel it. No man If I had a pet bat it'd be a flying fox, or an egyptian fruit bat. ftw!

  • .... Wrinkle bat, ew. Vampire bat, pretty. And I have heard of bats eating other bats. There is a species of carniverous bats that eat weaker and smaller bats.

  • i wanna see bat vs mouse-itd be like vampire vs human

  • do bats attack humans in order to protect their territory?

    I live in japan and i go 2 the swings at night sometimes (9pm-12pm) in a park surrounded by trees. As I start swinging while listening to music that's loud on earphones. a bat flies wrecklessly farley far from me but gradually gets closer as it reapeats a cycle.

    I do not know whether the bat is planning on attacking me or just looking for food or scared?

    HELP please. even without music the bat reapets the cycles

  • Bats are blind, they send signals that bounce of objects to locate where they are, so they are very clumsy creatures. They eat bugs and plants, and like this guy said, they sometimes eat their own kind... Bats have no motive of attacking you and they are far from evil (so they wont plan an attack on you LOL!). And second of all, why would you go swinging at night? You should be more worried of humans attacking you...

    Long story short, they are just looking for food...

  • bats arnt blind retard, people think that becasue they fly around so clumsly even though there pretty accurate flyers. and echolocation is only used because bats are nocturnal and hunt at night, which its hard to see.

  • you're right, but that doesn't mean you have to call me a retard...

  • its probably because mosquitos are attracted to your body heat and buzz around you. Do you have a lot of bites? If you do then the bat is probably attracted to the mosquitoes not you. It probably got closer because it knows you could hurt it but gradually became more comfortable with you. Bat's dont attack people unless they're defending themselves or their young, so it's probably nothing to worry about, then again i dont know much about japanese bat species

  • Comment removed

  • i went to bed and got killed in the face for not sending this out

    halocehce must be psycic

  • Good times!  Goooood tiiiimes!

  • wy is ozzy there? lol

  • cool:D

  • Wrinkle Bat is much more tough, its just all about who attacks first

  • somehow I came to see this movie as refuge from our news stuff in Israel. However, my channel is exactly about this, so ppl who want to see what media does not tell and why it is so important to know it, is invited to my channel, and please tell also others about it, cause the global JIHAD is the rel danger, we are not aware to. Thanks, and bye from me :-)

  • Good thing most people don't behave this way.

  • we have in the past, and we may yet again in the future...I'm not condoning the practice of course.

  • was this meant as a kids show or something? cus i've seen some kids documentaries be this silly and sensationalist. I dont know how american documentaries are but british ones are often way better than this.
