Bats are animals that , in general, do not have a very good reputation . His appearance does not in itself invite you to approach him or utter an exclamation of “oh, how cute he is! In addition, in the cinema they always appear associated with the dark, the paranormal, the aban-doned, witches, vampires and other beings that are scary and supposedly attack humans.
Therefore, today we have proposed to change your opinion and prejudices about these beings . Surely you have never seen such adorable bats as the ones you will see below. Don’t miss them!
We are used to associating bats with diabolical beings, especially when we see species like these.
Buettikofer’s Fruit Bat
This bat belongs to the category of “megabats”, since each wing measures almost 10 cm, the head of the males measures more than 5 cm and they weigh almost 200 grams. They live in tropical and subtropical humid forests in Africa and as their habitats are being destroyed they are a threatened species.
“Hammerhead” bat
The scientific name of this tremendous bat, Hypsignathus monstrosus , refers to its monstrous appearance, but, despite what many people thought in networks when they saw this image, it only feeds on fruit . They can usually be seen in groups of five hanging from the trees of equatorial Africa .
Philippine Diadem Bat
It is not surprising that this species of bat is scary, as it is the largest bat found so far , with a wingspan of one and a half meters. They are also known as “flying foxes” because of their long snout and pointed ears . It is primarily nocturnal and is also an important pollinator and seed disperser of many trees in the Philippines.
