[@luckdragongirl]

It's healthy to be a bit wary around them since they can carry the rabies virus. I don't really fear them, but I respect their boundaries, like I would for any wild animal. One day, a young bat fell asleep on my chain link fence, right on the gate. I got to study him/her up close since the bat was sleeping very soundly, but I left it alone. At least the people who did this video gave that warning at the end.

Jeddah couldn't be released (I don't know the reason), so the original carer was looking for a permanent care placement for him. In the meantime Mandi was caring for him; he needed to be kept tame so he could be an effective education animal. He loved to climb onto her and demand cuddles; she was cleaning out the crud from the bottom of the aviary, and he climbed aboard and solicited cuddles and petting. Mandi obliged, and whipped out her phone to record his pleasure. He has since gone to a permanent care home.

Hi PKC; try checking out the orphan bat playlists on my channel - they're adorably cute and think their human is their mum. Rethink away; then maybe start watching of the rescue videos to see that they're not all cuddly, but they can be quite aggressive (just to give you a more balanced view). Meg Welcome to Megabattie, I put lots of information in the descriptions under the videos - so if you have questions, look for the answers there first. I also put the fate of the animal if I know it, at the time I put the video up. I may put updates there later if I find out what happened to the animal after it has left my care. There is also a Happy Outcomes playlist if you want to only watch videos where the bat survives; this is a real life channel and you get the good, the bad, the ugly and distressing, and even my oopsies. You can find further videos on an individual bat by searching in the YT search bar for Megabattie/and the name of the bat you want to follow. There is a community tab (like a mini Facebook page) on my channel - if you go to Megabattie home page, there is a menu bar across the top under the cover pic.

Just by looks they are indeed cute as cute can get, but they do carry some serious viruses, among them the recently infamous ebola, but this particular kind of fruit bat may not be a vector.

[@Megabattie]

+RoarOfDamnation It has been shown that bats don't carry Ebola. The scientists jumped to the wrong conclusion. They haven't found any (African) bats who are carrying the virus. Bats in Australia can carry ABLV (Australian Bat Lyssavirus) which is a variant of rabies, and Hendra Virus. You can't catch Hendra from a bat, only from a sick horse infected (presumably) from a bat.

[@Doomroar]

+Megabattie Those poor African bats!

[@Megabattie]

+RoarOfDamnation Yes the bats in Africa were persecuted as carriers of Ebola, when they weren't. People fired entire roost trees and burnt them alive. They also hunt and eat bats there, and bushmeat is one of the ways emerging viruses spill over into the human population. Sad

If I get a notification, I will look at it, tick the comment and rely if required, except when I was busy dying about 3 years ago; I didn't die, I just had several episodes of incomplete death in ICU before I spent a few months recovering and going about my daily life again. I neglected my channel for about 3 months. I don't get notifications for some comments, if the person comments on a comment. I get notifications of comments on comments, but only if the commenter is a subscriber. Welcome to Megabattie, I put lots of information in the descriptions under the videos - so if you have questions, look for the answers there first. I also put the fate of the animal if I know it, at the time I put the video up. I may put updates there later if I find out what happened to the animal after it has left my care. There is also a Happy Outcomes playlist if you want to only watch videos where the bat survives; this is a real life channel and you get the good, the bad, the ugly and distressing, and even my oopsies. You can find further videos on an individual bat by searching in the YT search bar for Megabattie/and the name of the bat you want to follow. There is a community tab (like a mini Facebook page) on my channel - if you go to Megabattie home page, there is a menu bar across the top under the cover pic. Home, Videos, Playlists, Community, About.

Would humans still be able to make friends with other species if we didn't have fingers and opposable thumbs? Think about the first wolf who ever got petted, or a belly rub, and how foreign that sensation was. It had never experienced that before and would only ever experience it from humans. And what's the deal with petting anyway? Why do we instinctively try to pet other animals, whether it's a dog or a dolphin, and why are other animals so receptive to it, as if it's a natural thing? They don't try to pet us, after all. Anyhoo, things I think about...

[@adirblazkowics7717]

I think it's a general sensation akin to being groomed by others. It's like something that tells them you care about them and would like to spend time with them.

[@elgatochurro]

BECAUSE THEY FLUFFLY

[@joshoconnor2784]

It physically feels good and mentally it's a way to Express love or affection seeing as how animals dont have a language in the sense of spoken word. Many animals rub up against, lick, or groom their young and many with friends. Us primate types just dominate the pet game with our fingers and some animals are just dying to get a piece of that sweet sweet.... finger pettins? Lol. Other animals that dont like being petted are only envious of our hands and seek to destroy us as a means to eliminate the petting competition in Hope's of one day reclaiming the mantle of best petter, but their efforts are in vain because these sweet hands can also operarate firearms. The mantle shall not change...hands...

[@SirBeekers]

@Frank M Martinez Never seen a chimp pet an alligator, but I did see a human do it. Just holding babies of their own species doesn't really add anything to Josh's theory, nor debunk it.

[@brigidtheirish]

Why do we instinctively try to pet other animals? Because touch is physical sign of affection among humans. We find it comforting to touch and be touched. Certain tactile sensations are also deeply pleasurable and soothing. We also have an excessively broad visual template for 'baby.' Anything small, round, and soft, preferably with large eyes, is going to trigger the part of our brain designed for protecting and nurturing our young. That includes a *lot* of holding and petting.

This one, Frick, has cognitive impairments from it, but her sister, Frack, came out completely fine. I released Frack about 4 weeks ago and still see her almost every night. When I run into her during my nightly walks she runs at me and does her opossum clicking until I pick her up. She rides on my shoulders as long as she wants. Then she climbs down and runs back into the darkness. I walk with my dogs and my cat, so when Frack is with me she makes me look like I’m an animal whisperer or a hillbilly Disney princess 😂

[@82dorrin]

The benefits of having bats around far outweigh the risks. They eat mosquitoes by the truckload, pollinate certain food crops (like Avocados). The rabies thing gets blown out of proportion. That's a handful of individuals out of a population of thousands in most cases. It's true that you shouldn't handle them without protection, but that's the same with any animal. But most importantly... D'AAAAWWW!! So cuuuuuuute!

There is such innocence and honesty in these creatures, and such appreciation for a little belly rub or a head scratch. They close their eyes in ecstasy, make little soothing sounds--they let you know. They communicate. There is more in nature than we will ever begin to know. I am in awe.
