Wake Up Bat!

Hello passionate photographers. A tragic event occupies the series of captures of this publication. A roar frightened all of us who were inside the little house made of boards. A long time ago lightning struck a beautiful coconut tree that had been in the patio for a long time. Of course the tree dried up and lost all its branches and only the trunk was left. That was the roar we felt, it fell all of a sudden. We went quickly to see what had happened and we found a big family, I mean a huge family of bats living inside the trunk, which apparently was already completely rotten. Of course, some baby bats and others not so much did not survive the fall, but most of them did. They quickly began to move and look for branches of the coffee plantation and began to climb up looking for shelter.

It seemed, and I am convinced that they were, that they were communicating with each other and some of them were even helping each other to recover from the tragic event. Seeing your house shattered in an instant is not an easy thing to assimilate. But in the end, nature, always wise, finds a viable and sustainable solution. Bats look like dangerous animals but they are not, if you don't bother them they are friendly. I hope they have found a place to start a safe home again. I share with you here these pictures of pure survival instinct, see you!

Hola apasionados de la fotografía. Un trágico evento ocupa la serie de capturas de esta publicación. Un estruendo nos asustó a todos los que estábamos dentro de la casita de tablas. Hace un buen tiempo le cayó un rayo a un hermoso cocotero que estaba en el patio desde antaño. Por supuesto la mata se seco y perdió todas las pencas (ramas) y solo quedó el tronco. Ese fue el estruendo que sentimos, se cayó de repente. Fuimos rápido a ver qué había pasado y nos encontramos con una gran familia, digo una inmensa familia se murciélagos que vivían dentro del tronco, que al parecer estaba ya podrido completamente. Claro que al caerse algunos murciélagos bebés y otros no tanto no sobrevivieron, pero la mayoría si lo hizo. Rápidamente empezaron a moverse y buscar ramas del cafetal y comenzaron a subir buscando donde resguardarse. Tal parecía, y estoy convencido que si, que se comunicaban entre ellos e incluso algunos se ayudaban para reponerse del trágico evento. Ver qué tu casa se hace pedazos en un instante no es cosa fácil de asimilar. Pero la final la naturaleza siempre sabia encuentra una salida viable y sostenible. Los murciélagos parecen animales peligrosos pero en verdad no lo son, si no los molestas son amigables. Espero hayan encontrado dónde volver a comenzar un hogar seguro. Les comparto aquí estas fotografías de puro instinto de supervivencia. ¡Nos vemos!

Hello @eddyss friend! They are fantastic creatures, I'm sorry they lost their refuge ☹️, I also hope most of them soon find a new home... These are very good photos, it's rare to have the opportunity to photograph bats with enough light... Thanks for sharing this here and have a great week!

Thanks friend @jlinaresp, yes I'm sure they immediately found some suitable tree and got together like the big family they are. Despite the misfortune it was a good opportunity to see them during the day. Nice week to you too 👍.
