A Bat Rescue Organization Posted These 18 Pics Of Bats Being Cute To Show How Harmless They Actually Are

Bats Qld (Flying Foxes & Microbats) Inc. is doing God's work. The volunteer-run, not-for-profit organization rescues, rehabilitates, and releases Flying Foxes and Microbats across South East Queensland (Gold Coast to Brisbane area), Australia. It also educates the young and old on the importance of Flying Foxes in our ecosystem along with dispelling the myths that have always surrounded these amazing mammals.

You can also hear people say that bats have lots of diseases. "False, bats in Australia only carry one disease that poses a risk to people directly from the animal which is Australian Bat Lyssa Virus. This is found in less than 0.01% of the bat population." Besides, there also is a fully effective post-exposure vaccine. Interestingly, flying foxes have similar eyesight to ours, and although microbats don't have the best vision, they can see as well. The bottom line is that bats are doing their part in keeping the environment in check, and they deserve respect for their contribution.
