  1. “Katarsis” by She Past Away

    I love the mashup of this Turkish rock song with footage of roosting fruit bats. It makes it look like they’re raving in a club.

    on that note of #NipahVirus #India

    "The illness has a 40 to 75% fatality rate in humans (WHO).

    While it can spread from person to person, it does not do this easily, and outbreaks are usually small and fairly contained (EU Centre for Disease Prevention).

    The virus is most commonly spread by #fruitbats. Consumption of fruit or fruit products -like raw date palm juice-containing saliva or urine from infected fruit #bats is a most likely source of infection."

    Rescued baby flying foxes rest, wrapped up, after being injured by giant hailstones, some as large as a cricket ball, in Queensland storms, #Australia, in November. Almost 120 fruit bats (as they are also known) were injured, some critically, before being rescued by volunteers and admitted to the RSPCA wildlife hospital.

  12. #FruitBats Have #Cognitive Abilities Previously Believed to Be Exclusive to #Humans, Research Finds. “We wanted to see whether the bats could tell that time had elapsed and behave accordingly. We found that after 1 day of captivity, the #bats would return to trees visited on previous night. However, when a whole week had gone by, older bats, based on past experience, avoided trees that had stopped bearing fruit in the interval." ecowatch.com/fruit-bats-cognit #intelligence #future #oriented #behaviors

  17. Tonight: never miss Eric D Johnson when he's coming through town, no matter what the group, but especially when it's Fruit Bats. Sounding tremendous at a packed MHOW.

    "the #bats plan their foraging before they leave the colony, and know exactly where they are flying and what kind of nourishment they are looking for"

  19. This year's little red flying fox (fruit bat) colony is huge! In 24 years here, I've never seen it this big. This photo shows the usual encampment alongside the western edge of Stoney Creek south of the bridge, but it doesn't usually go right to the creek's edge.

    And this year they've crossed the creek, and also moved into the wetlands area north east of the bridge.

    At dusk, the whole sky seems to be filled with bats.

  20. CW: Bats

    I was a bit worried when I saw bats flying during the day, but they seemed happy, I guess? These Lesser Dog-faced Fruit Bats were chilling under the roof in one of the visitors centers at Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve.
