Bats

This is how a lot of people see bats.

They think they're all blood-sucking vampires.

This is how some people see bats (they think they're flying mice).

Pictured below are real Vampire Bats.

They're little baby Vampire bats. Aren't they positively adorable?

Oh yeah, they don't suck blood, they lick it and mostly from birds and cows.

Pictured below are photos of bats who aren't Vampire Bats.

 This just a tiny sampling, there are a lot of bats who aren't Vampire bats.

What many bats really do:

They eat insects, lots and lots and lots of insects.

They spread pollen. Like Margaritas? You can thank bats. They pollinate the Agave plant, used in making Margaritas. So, the next time you're "wasting away in Margaritaville," thank the bats that made it possible.

They re-plant rain forests. A lot of fruit people like to eat, bats make possible. 

They save farmers loads of money on insecticide and thus bring down the price of your groceries.

There are over 400 products that bats have made possible.

So, there's absolutely no reason for anyone to dislike bats, now is there?
