Sometimes bats can seem almost human. Watch these as they seem to talk to each other (maybe they do communicate in high frequency sound), help each other out, and communicate in sign language.
The bat is the only flying mammal. They are mysterious animals and the batman stories reflect this. |

Bats are incredible, intelligent mammals! Did you know they can live up to 40 years of age or that they can fly at speeds of up to 60 miles an hour?
Please visit www.BatWorld.org to learn more information, find a bat sanctuary in your area, or sponsor a rescued bat! Check out www.BatRoosts.com to learn about bats and get instruction for making a bat house/purchase a pre-made house.

My bat detector was just under the camera to enable you to hear this Notule Bat clearly. Normally you can hear some of the chattering by a Noctule bat without a bat detector but most of it is ultrasound - which is, by definition, beyond the human ear.
NOTE - all UK bats are legally protected and you cannot keep one or even disturb their roost. This female noctule is injured and is cared for by a trained expert. Don't try this at home!
Filmed during an event at Sheepdrove Organic Farm held 19July2007 with expert David Endacott. Love bats? Visit www.bats.org.uk |

Bracken Bat Emergence
It is an old story. For over 10,000 years, the bats have come to Bracken Cave every Spring. Probably beginning as soon as the last Ice Age receded northward, allowing the sun to warm up the coastal bend of a place we now call Texas. The bats bred. Raised their young. Hung themselves in tightly packed clusters from the cave ceiling. And at twilight, they flowed on whirring wings into the night sky. Millions of them. Until a trickle turned into a winding, twisting river of Mexican free-tailed bats, ready to feast on the protein-rich, airborne insects migrating over the limestone hills.
And so it came to be that in this very special place, the largest concentration of mammals on our planet gathered. Just twenty miles from San Antonio. The country's fifth largest metropolitan area and steadily growing. Alongside millions of bats. The story is far from over. But we need your help to ensure its future. |

Mad Science
1. Get rid of the rock.
2. Press B to look down and click on the snake.
3. Itemize it.
4. Shake the tree.
5. Itemize the Centipede.
6. Grab the Centi-saw.
7. Saw down the tree. Doesn't do anything but give you HQ.
8. Enter the building and climb down the ladder.
9. Enter the room on your right.
10. Put the Centi-saw inside the large machine.
11. De-itemize the Centi-saw and the machine will turn the Centipede into a drink. YUMMY.
12. Click on the vending machine and inspect the big image.
In case you don't understand it: Each type of animal is given its own symbol. Reptiles get a curled up snake symbol, bird have a "v" symbol, insects get a "*", and mammals have an oval with 4 legs.
13. Grab the bottle of "Purple Shock" out of the vending machine.
14. Use it on the decapper on the bottom right of the machine.
15. Walk to the right of the big liquefier machine, and click on the desk with the orange bottle on it. Put the Purple Shock on the stand labelled "*".
16. Go back to the ladder. Before climbing it, why not use the water pump first, to get some water flowing?
17. Climb up the ladder and click on the bat.
18. Itemize it.
19. Grab the Batbrella.
20. Put it inside the machine.
21. De-itemize.
22. Grab and de-cap the Yellow Water.
23. In case you're wondering: Bats are mammals, so the Yellow Water goes on the stand with the legged oval label.
24. Look at the poster. You have enough potions for the upper recipe.
25. Follow the recipe: Put one unit of Purple Shock into the breaker, two units for Yellow Water, and two units of Orange Orange. (That'd be the orange bird potion.)
26. Once the potions have been mixed, grab the chemical-filled breaker.
27. Go to the next room and climb up the toilet.
28. Dump the contents of the breaker into the tank of water.
29. Hop off the toilet.
30. Pull the rope next to the shower.

This "Moody Institute of Science" film (heard of them, yes?) glorifies the only flying mammal, our very own BAT. Highlights include the rather disturbing "blindfolding" and muting of an orphaned baby bat by taping its little eyes shut and tying its mouth together for the purpose of testing whether or not the little creature is truly blind. A must-see (no pun intended) for PETA fans! Take note of the "moral and spiritual value" provided at the end of the film, remarking that "the radar equipment of the bat is demonstrated in such a way that...[one] is brought to a place of questioning -- whose intelligence provided this unusual mechanism?" |

Natural history :
Rabies virus causes an acute encephalitis in all warm blooded hosts, including humans, and the outcome is almost always fatal. Although all species of mammals are susceptible to rabies virus infection, only a few species are important for maintaining the disease in nature as reservoirs. In the United States, several distinct rabies virus variants have been identified in terrestrial mammals, including major terrestrial reservoirs in raccoons, skunks, foxes, and coyotes. Additionally, overlaying variants associated with terrestrial mammals are numerous independent reservoirs for rabies in several species of insectivorous bats.

A parade of Bats at the Traditional Old Mas or carnival, St. James Trinidad
They gathered at the entrance to the make-shift stage. One or two sat on the road with their wings wrapped around themselves. The event was the Traditional Mas competition in St. James, Trinidad and a number of Bats were ready to take flight to reenact the flying mammal.
Trinidad carnival it is not about the beads or feathers, elaborate head pieces or five hundred pound floats, but rather for the masqueraders to play themselves, for them to find an identity that they can call theirs. Carnival is about the reenactment of an identity copied from books, television or from observations played out as a performance....I really don't know who I am, but this is what I'll really like to be.

Song: Animosity - Fake Blood
This is my view of Evolution:
Before 13,7 million years ago there was a object. there was NOTHING except this object. It wasn't bigger then a penny, but it was full of Atoms (Really, it was unimaginably much)
At some point though the pressure was to much to take for the small object and it exploded into such a huge explosion that is expanding to this day forth.
This is what Scientists call: ''The Big Bang.'' Thanks to the unbelievable complexition impulse of nature the atoms melted togheter and formed togheter to form all sorts of matter and conclusivly form all planets that exist to this day on.
Trough the miraculous cycle of tendency there was the possibility to even form life on some planets.
The first to set feet on Earth were the Dinosaurs. 230 million years ago till 65 million years ago they ruled the Earth. 160 million years long.
Compared to how long the Dinosaurs ruled the earth humans are nothing.
160 million years ago the succesfull era of the dominating Dinosaurs came to an end when a meteor struck the Earth. 95 % of all life in the waters died and 70 % of all life on land died.
Only a few small animals survived the Meteor Strike. The Small MAMMALS evolved into: Insectivores,Primates, Rodents, Beast of Prey (Cats, Dogs, Bears, Weasels, Civets and Raccoons)
The hooves mammals, Bats, Rabbits and Whales and Dolphins.
PRIMATES in Africa begun walking long distances. More and more Primates begun walking straight because you could walk faster and be on the look-out at the same time. Because of this their hands were free to do anything, so they begun using them for other things. And as they became more handy their brain-capacity grew (A negative consequence of this is that women have pain at the birth of their offspring as they have bigger heads, So we can actually conclude that being smarter was a Mutation) The smart Primates immigrated to all parts of the world.
From Africa to Europe, From Europe to Asia and from Asia to most-likely to America (though it can also be from Europe to America during the Ice Age)
But as soon as the Ice Age struck the human beings in Europe (and some parts of America and Asia) Couldn't offer their offspring enough food even before birth and therefore ate food with lack of pigment. Therefore there begun to appear differences in Skin- Eye- and Haircolour. All of the sudden there were White people with blond hair and blue eyes.
Out of every subclasses of the smart Primates only ''Homo Sapiens'' were to survive. |

Despite their name, flying squirrels don't actually fly... they glide. Researchers in Missouri continue to learn more about this interesting creature.
They have a loose fold of skin that stretches out and supports the squirrel. Flying squirrels use their broad, flat tails to steer. The only mammals that truly fly... are bats. |

First we thought it as small dog, but later realised that it was bat which was injured and fell into water. Then i took it away from the lake and hand it over to SGNP veteran doctor. |

As twilight falls, nature appears to transform itself. While humans take this time to rest, nocturnal animals begin to embark on the adventures of their day. Small mammals such as hedgehogs, ganets, bats, and other creatures become active at nightfall; hunting, gathering, and traversing the forest underbrush. Hidden by the night, these shy and enigmatic species take the stage. |

At 2797, 2291 and 1968 meters respectively, Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe and Tongariro are sizeable volcanoes. Tongariro's huge massif extends over 18 kilometres in length - classic, cone-shaped Ngauruhoe is actually one of Tongariro's vents.
The mountains of this national park have deep spiritual significance for the Maori people. Legend has it that the high priest Ngatoroirangi was frozen in a snowstorm while exploring Tongariro and called to Hawaiki, the traditional Polynesian homeland of the Maori, for fire. His prayer was answered, via the channel we now call the Pacific Rim of Fire, and the mountain erupted.
The lower slopes of the mountains are blanketed with forest, which provides a habitat for many native birds. New Zealand's only native mammals, short and long tailed bats, also live in the park.
A 28 minutes documentary about New Zealand's national parks is part of the tv-series WONDERS of WILDERNESS and is available on DVD or VHS (Dutch or English version)at WWW.FAUNAFILM.NL
