They're wild animals, so I would expect them to defend themselves if they are harassed. I don't recommend it, but they may just decide to hang on your arm if you keep them occupied with a nice juicy piece of fruit. Just don't blame or hurt the poor bat if something goes wrong in the process, since it's your own blasted fault.

I like the ears.

I guess you might get bit if you reach up and grab a wild bat. Let me know how it works out for you.

Looks like somebody tipped them.
Could not find them in the usual place today.
I'll try tomorrow.

Ugly no doubt but they do posses rather keen senses far outside of sight. We used to toss a rock up in the air and whistle at a very high pitch jamming their version of radar and watch them follow the rock back to the ground but they would always pull out just before crashing into the ground.

No fan of Linkin Park here either

Blimey, since when did Samudra enter into this avatar ?

Nocturnal detours ?

Much as they've thought humans about Dropler's effect, I find bats repulsive.

Nice bit of camera work though. No offence to anyone here, but Linkin Park is a sort of music that my friends and me characterise as jarring noise.

Some may slither, yes, but I had a house FULL when I had first met TH and none were slimy. As for the "stuff" - Yeah, I guess they got "stuff".
