Is there anything more defeating than cute bats?


Baby Bat, you are destroying my ability to successfully categorize safe animals and animals that want me to drop whatever I am doing and make sure they are comfortable and happy. You are supposed to be trying to suck my blood or finding your way out of a cave using radio waves or Google maps or whatever. Instead you are like a big-eyed baby deer crossed with a webbed monkey sucking on a pacifier. You're really little, too, aren't you? There's nothing in this picture that I can compare you to, but I get the sense you're something disgusting like a pound and a half. I bet you would fit in my hand and then look up at me and I wouldn't even be able to check to make sure you aren't going to turn into a vampire. Fucking bats. At least they aren't thriving, I mean, who would raise bats in large groups?

Oh shit.
Why do I even bother?

    How does one get into raising bats? Is there a market for that, Entrepreneur Chick wonders...?

  10. Bats are truly one of God's great mysteries. They are at once poignant reminders of the veritable variety of things that can jumbled up into one creature, and at the same time, terriffic vectors for rabies and all manner of other terrible things. Still They really don't bother us unless we bother them, and when they do there is Hell to pay for everyone.

  12. Baby Bat, you look like Bambi's head was cut and pasted on pure evil. And what's with those big fucking eyes? You're giving the saying "Blind as a Bat" a bad name.

    Sigh. Life was easier while you were "in captivity."

    ReplyDelete

  17. As the lady said MEGABATS

    don't suck blood
    eat flowers and fruit
    better night vision than we have
    our relatives - lemurs with wings (take that Am Mus Nat Hist!!)
    No sonar, radar or RFID's

    If you want to raise them - come to Orstralia.

    Oh and where's the other pic (of the girl with the bat bubs?)

  23. E-fucking-gad. It's little Wednesday, all grown up. I mean, Who the fuck ever even heard of raising fucking bats? Like,EC said, there's a market for bats? How does one even think up such an operation? Where do you even start? "Mom, Dad, I know what I want to do when I get out of school. I'm gonna raise bats. Here, see?" That's when Mom fainted and Dad had his stroke.
    And I have to wonder what happens when that 'special guy' gets to come in for the first time. "...This is the kitchen, oh, and here are my bats." Yeah, that's the place I want to spend the night. If you're gonna have bats hanging around the house, you'd better look like Elvira! Know what I mean?

  24. okay that is all very interesting, funny, and damn it...cute ~ but...who weans them from a bottle to mosquitoes?

  25. A bevy of bundled baby bats?!
    So wrong. So very wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  26. The baby bats are orphans. They only wrap them up to give them their formula. On youtube you can see lots of mind-screwingly cute footage of fruit bat rescue centres. And bizarrely a man getting frenched by a fruit bat - not on purpose though.

    Lots of people think the bat-rescuers are mad, because it's like rescuing squirrels or kangaroos - they're essentially vermin. But they're such ace animals, and people are sort of verminous.

  31. "At least they aren't thriving..."
    True enough: White Nose Syndrome is driving several eastern U.S. bat species to near extinction. Google will get you as much info on this mystery as your heart desires.

  32. Just got my copy of the Hardbound-UK version of FUP.

  35. I've always wanted a bat since I was a kid (there was a boy scout related magazine that had an article on a kid that was raising bats).

    ReplyDelete
  36. Fruit bats are absolutely beautiful. Flying foxes. I read Stellaluna to the kids when they were old enough to appreciate it and we all fell in love with the critters. But those fugly sonar-echolocation-weird-nosed-big-eared bat versions are different beasts entirely. Creeepeeee. Pretty neat from an evolutionary viewpoint though, I have to admit.

  37. I love megabats. The Yorkshire Terriers of the sky. Work From Home

  44. bats are so cool. and to raise bats you can purchase a starter colony from a zoo. as long as you have all the proper paperwork/permits/housing.

    cool bat facts

    1. no bats are blind, thats a total myth
    2. bats are very clean animals, despite what you hear the chances of getting rabies from a bat is like 1 in 400,000 or something crazy like that.
    3. vampire bats can walk!

  49. I actually found this blog while researching a way to buy and breed giant fruit bats. I am going to breed alot but have atleast two in my home....I will hold and squeeze them and pet them and pat them, and hug them and kiss them and call them George. By the way... this is the best thing online since I found porn in my teens. I love this blog, Fuckin' penguins
