Bats are not only cute (the Fruit Bat is especially adorable!), but they are highly useful to us.
Did you know that people living in the country often build not only birdhouses, but bathouses, as well? It's true! Bathouses encourage bats to live near the farmhouse because the bats eat thousands of mosquitoes!

Yes! Bats are awesome! Very useful as pest control, and many species are important in pollinating certain fruits such as mangos, avocados, etc. They are really amazing creatures...and a fact a lot of people don't know is that they are most closely related to primates...not at ALL related to rodents most people think. Also, they can see pretty well,so not sure where the term "blind as a bat" came from?

Bats are pretty cool. Sometimes at night, when I'm working or riding at the barn, bats will fly around everywhere and we count them as they fly around. One flew really close to my head when I was riding one of the horses, and I was kind of surprised that he'd come that close to me. There's a bat house on the back of the barn, so I guess some of them live in there.

I think they're really cute too.. I think I'd love them more except for the danger of rabies. One of them got in my house last year (I think through an open window) and was sitting on the bedroom wall and I got to know it pretty well. Eventually I got a garbage can and caught it in there and put the lid on. Then I took the can out in the woods and released it. When it was in the can it was squeaking away, so plaintively. When I let it go it flew away. Bats are indeed strange creatures and i'd like to learn more about them. Do you like Batman too?

Nothing wrong with bats...very interesting creatures...sonar is amazing, they never hit anything, but are all but blind. They are kind of boring as pets, for caged, they cannot fly and must crawl around ... the wings get in the way of crawling. Mice make better pets than bats. Good luck
