We are so used to seeing bats and flying foxes as scary monsters who are eager to suck all the blood out of us, that we hardly try to look at them from another angle. It turns out that these animals can be cute too — all you need to do is just have a closer look at them.

We at Bright Side found a bunch of photos showing the adorable side of bats and we can’t wait to show them to you.

This is what a bat in the womb looks like.

“Decided to do a new photo of Barlow, a common pipistrelle, during the weighing time. Same scales, same pot, same bat, but he’s all grown up now.”

“Hey, I can see you upside down!”

Little Ruby came into care at only 300 g because she was starving — now she is getting better and better.

Are you basically scared of bats and flying foxes or are you one of the bravest who can hold them in your arms?
