Bats are cute

That's the non-lethal Palau version though. In the real Hubei deal, they wouldn't use coconut milk. Also, substitute white onion with scallions and add garlic and ginger.

The Fruit Bat falls into the category of the Megabat and sometimes they are called the Flying Fox in some locations ... The Fruit Bat has some sharp teeth that allow it to penetrate the skin of the fruits. They also have very long tongues that unroll when they are feeding.

I don't think eating bats is a good idea but if you do, you probably want an organic, free-range, rabies-tested, jungle bat vs a mangy city bat. You might want to add some turmeric, chili, and other herbs and spices to cover up the gaminess.

I prefer a nice roasted armadillo.

As often I might represent small minority here .... so no matter what; I still ''love'' our small bats.
I have seen two different species of those back at home. I guess there are 3 others (5 all together here) but rest of them are pretty rare..

A bit bigger Northern bat
This flies 3m - 20m high... above land ... often following same ''flying track'' ... for example like number 8 many times.

And bit smaller Daubenton's bat.

This one flies just above lakes's surfaces (often closer than 1m).


Those can be recognized via where they hunt/eat/fly.


One bats here can eat 2700 mosquitos/night. Which humans made mosquite trap can do the same? Nope, they actually are nature's own (natural) mosquitokillers .... if not pure ''killing machines''!

DNA tests have also showed that they also eat some other pest insects.

They are usefull/helpfull little creatures .... both to humans but also farm animals.
So we have built some ''homes'' for them (close to cowhouse).

you know that I live in Lubuskie...


It is also the largest European underground bat refuge, giving shelter to some 35,000 bats of 12 species in the wintertime.

They are like little dogs with wings (some species)

I've just discovered a nice little poem below one of these bat videos.

China is red,
Wuhan spreads flu,
I don't eat bats
And neither should you.
