You Might Be Afraid Bats, but These Tiny Weeks-Old Baby Bats Are Anything but Frightening

Bat's don't necessarily have the reputation of being cute creatures. Normally, they're seen as fanged, hideous flying rats, only on this earth to torment the innocent at night. But the funny thing is, practically none of us can claim a time where we, or anyone we know were harmed or attacked by a bat. In fact, they're one of the more harmless creatures. And on top of that, they're a lot cuter than we give them credit for.Â
Presumably though, there are a lot of you that still find bats repulsive - at the very least, ugly. That being said, if you're having trouble believing any of this, these photos taken at the Australian Bat Clinic & Wildlife Trauma Center, of baby orphaned bats should change your mind.
Still think they're hideous little things?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Try, "absurdly adorable little things."
In Australia, these baby bats are referred to as "pups."
Orphaned and deprived of their mother's care...
These pups need to be insulated in order to get the sleep they need to grow.
And since they don't have mother bats on staff, tiny little blankets are the next best thing.
But actually, they may be the BEST thing...at least in terms of cuteness.
So let me ask you again...
Still consider bats terrifying?
I rest my case.
