it's pretty amazing indeed
Although the information given with the video is a bit
deceptive. First the video shows a fishing bat (one of the two Noctilio species) catching a fish. Then the video suggest that the same bats (that eat fish) have to be carefull of the revenge of the (cat)fish.
Then the video shows bats flying in a cave with water in it and one bats falls in the water and gets almost eaten by the catfish. When you look carefully you see that these bats have a noseleaf. They are leafnosed bats (from the Phyllostomidae-family) and not the fishing bat, which doesn't have a noseleaf at all.
So it's not the "eat and being eaten" situation they suggest it is.
But I don't want to spoil the beauty of the video. Bats eating fish and fish eating bats is still amazing! And these NG-video are always beautiful!
In the BBC-series Life of Mammals there is a scene in which Old World Fruit bats (Flying foxes) are going for a drink. They are not so agile so what they do, is that they fly very low over a lake and "dip" their chest into the water. Then they fly to a tree to hang from a branch and lick the water of their chest. Thousands of bats to that everynight and in the video you can see crocodiles trying to take the bats out of the sky or trying to catch a bat that fell into the water.
Crocs eating bats! I am waiting now for the video of bats eating crocs !!
Bats eating fish and fish eating bats is still amazing! And these NG-video are always beautiful!
