RE: Myth or Fact? #25 - Bats are blind

in #science7 years ago

Tim,

Hello from Spain.

One night here in Spain my brother-in-law and I came home late from the bar to my sisters piso. We had to be super quite because my sister was pissed off because we didnt come home.

When we opened the window a bat came flying in and must have circled the small dining room 1.000 times in one second without touching anything in the room.

My brother-in-law freaked out and grabbed the broom to try and swat it out of the air so it wouldnt hit one of us. He broke just about everything in the room and never hit the bat. After my sister woke up screaming and yelling the bat simply flew out the window.

Ill leave it there because Im sure you can imagine.

Great post.

This is so funny!

indeed!!!

Bats are pretty amazing creatures. We as humans can learn alot about how bats navigate through the darkess of places using they're sonar. How they're able to locate prey and move in with a flock of bats without hitting each other or the items around them . And not just bats they're are many more animals out in the world that use this ability which we can learn so much from. To be honest our world is filled with amazing species. :)

Bats are super important to our enviroment. They do WAY more good than bad. When you look at them close they look like a mouse with velvet wings.

So does that mean he was flying with sight? How did grow up not knowing this????

I would say they feel frequency/vibrations and can hang a 90% turn with no problems: and fast!!!! He must have swatted at the bat over 100 times. This went on for 20min.

This is great. Laughed my ass off. What they needed was a swivel on his feet so he could turn around slowly to face him.
