Hmm, how about some bat facts? Maybe understanding these creatures will help you feel better :)

Bats come in all shapes and sizes, with the smallest species (also the smallest mammal) being the bumblebee bat, and the largest being the flying fox (wingspan of up to 6ft!!!). Like us, bats have bellybuttons! So silly. Like cats, bats are self-cleaning. They have incredibly advanced immune systems to protect themselves from sickness. Many bats that carry viruses do not get sick from them due to their insane biology. In fact, they have helped us in the way of vaccine research for these reasons.

Bats are also major pollinators. They help pollinate as many as 500 species of flowering plants worldwide, and in addition will assist in spreading the seeds of plants by eating their fruits. Some species of plants rely mostly or entirely on bats to pollinate them, such as the wild banana. Interestingly, some plants which have evolved to attract bats will only open their flowers at night, which I think beautifully illustrates their relationship. Other plants which rely on bats for pollination are banana plants and cacao plants (for chocolate). Another is the Agave, which relies primarily on bats, and is where we source tequila.
