James Watching The Wild Bats. I Know You've Been Waiting So I'll Go Backwards .

[@lizatanzawa7910]

Look at that face! HOW can anyone hate bats?!?!?! WHY isn't bat watching a tourist attraction? OMG, the flyouts are so beautiful!

[@BabyBatsBuddiesofAustralia]

Slowly with over seas interest I think they'll see they can make money. Once they can make money bats will have some value to them.

[@HEllis-qu5nn]

it is in Austin!

[@jillbriska2416]

Liza Tanzawa I don’t understand any of it! I went to Australia and wanted to get my kids a couple bat souvenirs- there was NOTHING! All koala bears kangaroos etc. It’s just not right Children once seeing a flying fox would be in love- my kids are. Adults are always surprised how adorable they are. You are right this should be a tourist activity- maybe a combo learn about bats, see them do a night fly out and have a lovely fruit themed dinner! 🍇🍑🍒🍌🍐🍎🥭🥝

[@kimberlyemerson-spicer471]

For me, it always has been. I'm lucky to have spent many happy summers in the mountains as a kid watching bats fly over every late afternoon but now I live in an area where I can see them again. I have loved bats since i was a kid.

[@newsnk3679]

Could be because of the diseases they can spread?

James looks so excited to smell and hear the wild bats.

[@ahmedfalahy9337]

@@BabyBatsBuddiesofAustralia I'm new to your videos, so I was curious. Do you plan to release James? Or is he too domesticated? And IS there a such thing?♡♡♡

[@maxpower8916]

@@robinbowman4549 James will or has been released. Some Flying Foxes (bats) are kept for educational purposes but most are released through a release program (soft release). I don't think any bats in general are domesticated. The program itself at one point starts to dehumanize the bats by placing them with others of their own age group with little human contact and then they learn how to be bats.

His ears are the best. They are so loud! So cute.

[@KahlestEnoch]

James is so adorable with his ears as he is listening. I am surprised he hasn't called back to them. Yes you need to start doing a tourist trade with people seeing the bats come out at night, I would pay to watch that. And the money raised can go to help rescue the babies and protect the colonies.

[@ehrlichlanierc7429]

Almost 27 yrs ago, when I was young, I saw my first bat in Columbia SC zoo. Staring mesmerized, fascinated I thought I should report one of the bats had worms! Staring I couldn't believe my eyes, as my brain said, "No, look again, be still, observe." It was my first bat experience and I realized... Not a worm and also, my gosh what Big " bat balls"! I still laugh about it now at almost eighty years old.... just hilarious. My story is titled The Day I Fell in Love With Bats at the Columbia Zoo". (That was my realization that they were not scary at all but precious little animals!) I just adore bats, what a helpful and useful animal to our magnificent planet! Thank you and thank God for all the people that rescue (and love) these precious gifts.

It's a shame people are afraid of or hate bats. We'd lose so much if there were no more bats. They've been demonized by Halloween and vampire folklore to the point that because of unfounded fears, people don't even want to educate themselves about bats. And just look at James. He can't get any cuter and he knows what's going on hearing the wild bats. Those ears are moving to every sound.

[@BabyBatsBuddiesofAustralia]

It's just so bad here. I'll make a video on what they're mad at the bats for now it'll blow your mind.

[@JadeStrawberry]

Yes, I think we'd all here be interested in seeing what their problem is with these little angels.

[@barbaralatham3584]

JadeStrawberry If you could see the nasty faces of American bats, you’d think differently. But American bats only eat bugs. Don’t destroy fruit. B
