Some people view bats as pests.Their image has been distorted I feel through movies and literature based on fantasy.At the same time, whilst providing entertainment,it appears to have tarnished the vital role they play in the worlds ecosystem.

They are sooooo cute..have not had a great deal to do with them,however a girlfriend of mine actually purchased a house because it had a huge bat colony ther which she wished to protect.She started a animal resue organization about eighteen years ago if I am correct,contributes most of her time for the animal cause.Her web site is very informative.I do think she has a soft spot for flying foxes.Only learnt three weeks ago bats are actually primates.
Do have a fab day,cheers.

I was taken down to a local river not far from where i live and I was so surprised to see all the bats asleep in the trees and it was interesting to see there was a notice there that there was a $5000 fine and or 5months gaol for disturbing them, I am so glad they are now protected here...
here is one of the photos i took across the river...

I love bats, especially flying foxes. Im a member of a wildlife organisation known as WILD LIFE ARC. I care for flying foxes untill they're able to be released back into the wild. When you get to know them thay are such fasinating little creatures, they clean themselves like a cat & have the same temperament as a dog. They love cuddles too. The sad moment is when you have to release them..because you've raised them from a baby & generally have them for 4-5 months.
THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS !!!!
