All bats don’t have rabies. Some bats do.

I love bats. There is a Red Bat that roosts in a big Sycamore tree in my neighbor’s yard. I see it almost every night between 8:30 PM and 9:00 PM.

It arrives in April and usually it has a couple of young about the first day of June that are adult size by July. I still see it until about October then it leaves. I see one again the next April.

There are Yellow Bats in the palm trees in the Heights and other places in downtown Houston.

There are thousands of Freetail Bats under a bridge on Waugh Drive going over Buffalo Bayou.

I have observed and caught Evening Bats near Bush Intercontinental Airport.

I have caught all the above kinds of bats.

I hate all bats. They all have rabies.

I love the way the Vampire bat uses it’s front legs/arms (his strongest legs). I love bats more than anything in the world! I even have two stuffed animals, but I like the first one. There was a big difference between how the bat ran and walked.

Thanks for showing me so many of the cool things a bat can do.
