Bats seriously creep me out. I do recognize their role in keeping the insect population in check, but they carry so many diseases.

" But humans are, especially in the tropics, constantly expanding into bat habitat. This – of course – increases the risks of humans coming into contact with these animals. "

Christian missionaries in those parts of the world would do well to recognize that there was a communal benefit to the ancient Jews being instructed to refrain from eating certain categories of meats as well as other hygienic instructions.

Contrary to rats, bats do not like to live near humans.

Good posting.
However, in Austin TX there is a bridge or overpass in town where millions of bats fly out everyday near Sundown and lots of residents and travelers are there to watch and film. This location is not in the boonies, but within the city.

I will admit to being “prejudiced” against bats. Ever since I was a little girl and I heard about a woman who had a bat fly into her hair and get tangled up there. I hate bats and just after sundown I see them swooping around in my back yard. ICK! Bat hater here, even more than before!

Fruit bats have something in common with humans.
Unlike most animals, you know, dogs, cats, cows, mice, yada yada yada fruit bats AND humans do not make their own vitamin C.
There are only a dozen or so species like this on the planet.
