I came here for a real fruit bat documentary. But I've found something much, much better.
"Let's just pretend they're knee caps." This channel is hilarious! 😂
I support Eric and Lilly's decisions
I’m very happy for Eric and Lily. I’m so happy they’ve found happiness in both themselves and each other. I love them
Cute fact: Male flying fox hugs female flying fox while they sleep to protect her
“Raised in the cutest damn sanctuaries in the world” is too true of a statement. If you ever need some smiles, check out Megabattie and Batzilla the Bat here on youtube :)
Fruit bats have interesting kneecaps, and spend their time flashing one another for amusement. Complete science.
“THOSE bats were idiots
"Fruit does not give up much chase." Love it.

"No one ever referred to him as a flying fox. In fact, he was given the nickname flying f*ck."
We got land doggo, we got water doggo, and now we got the magnificent air doggo

"But those bats were idiots, because Eric is a wonderful and sensitive fruitbat"
Fun fact: It was actually (very recently) discovered that fruit bats have a do have a form of echolocation, where their wings produce clicks as they fly
“Eaten as a delicacy.”
IM CRYING I CAME HERE TO LEARN ABOUT FRUIT BATS I WASNT EXPECTING THIS
The year is 2050 zefrank has gone over every animal to ever exist and the human race is now saying babies like bebies
I spent THREE MINUTES trying to flip this right side up on my phone before I realized that the bats were hanging upside down.
"They are sometimes eaten as a delicacy"
