Photo of the human-sized bat in the Philippines baffles social media users
On June 24, a Twitter user with the handle @AlexJoestar622 shared an image of a giant golden-crowned flying fox hanging from a wire attached to the roof of a building.
The bat belongs to the class of mammals it is flying mammals because it feeds its young just like other mammals. Unlike other birds, they are not able to stand and walk on their own feet. Their claws are shaped in such a way that they help it fly in the air.
To rest the bat hang on its head. Oddly, this animal finds rest only by hanging upside down. They hang from the branches of trees with the help of their special kind of claws.
The most amazing fact about the bat is that it eats and drinks from the mouth and also excretes substances from the mouth.
In the darkness of the night, its flight is the weirdest one. It can fly with the same speed and courage as a fast-flying bird flies in daylight without clashing anything. It has its informant or spying system.
You perhaps heard the saying “blind as a bat”. It is not factually true. Bats have poor eyesight, but they are not sightless and in the darkness, they find their way out by a system of echolocation. As they fly along they release continuous high pitched screeches which echo back to them from the nearby things. Their large ears and inquiring sensitive faces pick up these sound waves again and so they can judge their distance from the walls and trees and wires. Bats can even fly in a room where strands of cotton have stretched from wall to wall without becoming entangled.
Bats can secretly listen to other food-eating bats and use them as a guide to their food. However, bats fail to increase their range too much because they have a limited number of birds of prey, otherwise, there is an increased risk of collisions in the air.
I remembered a story about the bat I read in my childhood; Once upon a time war broke out between animals and birds to make select a king. In that bat played a dual role, as when she sees animals dominating, she says I feed my children, so I am an animal, but if birds dominate, she says I fly in the air, so I am a bird. In this way, she adopted a policy of zigzag i.e. here and there. Resultantly, in the end, both sides refuse to accept him, which is why he is still living alone. And no one is ready to accompany it.
