A short demo of bats of the world, highlighting a few of the 1,400 species in the world. Includes footage of large “fox” bats, small myotis, bats in various habitats, bats roosting in caves, in houses, and in eaves and leaves, and emergences of thousands of bats from bridges in the American Southwest. Includes footage of bats feeding on fruit, feeding on the nectar of flowers, and foraging for insects. Includes daytime as well as night-time footage using both white and infrared lights. This video was made many years ago; see HDNatureFootage.net for newer video.
