- I thought bats flapped their wings like birds, but bat wings are more like giant webbed hands. #shorts

Now thinking of it, flapping ones arm is much more exhausting than flapping with hands
You tried it, didnt you? 😂
@@IncineratedHam lol

They're actually just in creative mode
Me in Minecraft not slapping the air just walking in the air: *laughing in air.
😂
Lmao

Actually they’re exploiting ▪️
couldn't imagine my fingers being connected to my feet by a huge web of skin
imagine gaining weight in the web
@@thalamus_eater Probably wouldn't happen because there would be very few adipocytes in the webbing.

Wait, yours aren't already?
The power of „Jazz hands“!
😂
Lmao now I can't stop thinking about a bat doing Jazz hands
"These are my favourite bats." "We dead."
My favorite bats are dead ones lol.
Exactly i was lyk are they dead ?? And he says they r my fav 😐😂

@@faceless-x-abberation8400 my favourite bats are little brown bats. Preferably not dead
The "Webbed hands" really sounds like something out of a horror movie.
Also sounds like a really good horror movie title
Once again,
HOW ARE YOU EVERYWHERE?!?
How about a webbed anus?🤔😉🤪

Sounds like a bat.
Birds: Flap flap 🦅🦅
Bats: SLAPPIN' DIS AIR YOOO!!! 🦇👋🦇👋
Oh they don't flap their wings like a bird they slap at the air with their hands. Okay thanks so much.
Well birds pretty much do that too, but their wings look less like hands than they used to
And bats do use their whole “arms” to flap as well
I’ve got slow motion video I took of bats flying around me on my phone and it looks just like how a lot of birds flap to me
Yeah because unlike birds, bats actually have fingers so he’s technically correct. They flap their hands, but saying that they slap them sounds more aggressive
Oh they don't fIap their
Future archeologists will discover bat skeletons and think that they were land dwelling creatures with long fingers.
There's one here that walks, one of the only two which are thought to have a true walking gait, the lesser short tailed bat. The other is apparently the vampire bat!
*paleontologists
"Slapping the air"
Made me laughing
...thats how birds fly too
And pterodactyls.
And dragons.
And, technically, every fish (not flying, but pretty much the same motion with flippers that are modified hands[even more technically, all hands are modified flippers and all wings are modified hands])
Only insects have a completely different wing style
@@Matt..S correct, flight has evoled exactly twice
@@Lemon_Sage9999 evidently not. just by going in a general distinction: Mammals, -birds- lizards, insects.
@@Matt..S I have NO idea why I forgot birds weren't mammals 😭
@@Lemon_Sage9999 I crossed it out because birds evolved their flight during their reptilian stage, to clarify that birds are in fact reptiles that learned to fly
So basically, they fly like every other flying creature?
... no, they have webbed parachute fingers. There are feather monsters that fly using black magic... and then there are humming birds, which violently tread fluid that happens to be air instead of water.
Oh. There are also insects, which fly using fairy dust. They move membrane wings using part violent fluid treading motions and part ultrathintissuepaper air slappy motions.
Black magic and fairy dust isnt real what are you on about 💀@@SashaInTheCloud
Birds use arms, bats use hands, and bugs use extra limbs
@@SashaInTheCloudall of these would be described as flapping. . . Like what bats do
I think i must be getting something cuz what if bats ancestors used to have real hands until in the future they were now wings.
That’s actually what happened. They evolved elongated finger bones with a membrane of skin between them to create an aerodynamic surface in order for them to glide. And, over time, the membrane evolved into their wings, giving them access to powered flight. This happened about 50 million years ago, according to the fossil record.
That's what happened
Person learning what evolution is for the first time:
@@tonydai782 he's learning,that's what's important.
That's what life is, learning/growing constantly. When we stop learning we start dying
Yeah that’s how bats, birds, pterosaurs and kinda flying fish evolved to fly
The species’s front limbs slowly became something that could then slowly become good for flying
Bats don’t flap their arms they’re just flapping their arms
I know right. Birds also have thumbs like chickens. You see their arm now if it was a wrist joint and the flapped outside of that then it's different but he just made ad a bs video.
Another fun fact, a bird wing is infact just a feathered hand with many fingers.
They actually only have three fingers, most of the hand is fused into the arm :]
Through the power of jazz hands, you are granted the ability of flight!
My favorite bat is a Louisville slugger but to each their own 🤷🏻♂️
😂😂😂😂😂
Man those bats are so well behaved and calm they didn’t move a muscle.
Same situation as my dad
Me: i want to have webbed hands to swim better!
*after seeing the video:* *"well never mind"*
Bats ! My favorite animal ! ✨✨✨
Oh, how i love the common vampire bat ! Will there be more videos ?? Like the way some specie's long tongue is retracted through their ribcage with a spring like system, I'd love to see more !
I love the common vampire and the lesser short-tailed bat! They both walk around on the ground, it’s amazing!

Bats fly through the power of jazz hands.
I wish I could share the mental imagery this comment evoked in my mind, because it was hilarious.
This bat is from Cracov, Poland :) nice to see that detail and the Polish names on the tag
Its Kraków
Polska gurom
Slaping the air got me haha XD
So that’s how every kid when they are young fly
But...That's how birds do it too. In fact, bat wings evolved to be extremely similar to bird wings. Birds don't have as many fingers, but their "palm" is in the same place, and they even have a thumb just like bats do.
In the end, birds are "slapping" the air with their wings basically the exact same way bats do
They actually do it differently! Birds do a more simple up and down motion, since they don’t have control over their remaining fingers and hand. Bats don’t rely as much on the arm, instead using a more swim-like motion. Bats also have much more control over their flight since they can control the individual fingers and have a larger surface area of wing, so they’re much more agile.
@@joliwaa8564 There are millions of different species of bird and dozens of different wing motions. A colibri has a different flight than an eagle.
I’ll never look at bats the same way again.
this is what skydivers will look like in 4099
Jazz hands!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hi! Just started watching your channel. Good content. I wondered if "Dolichopteryx binocularis" is in your fish collection? If yes, can you show it sometime?
He has dead animals.
@@lindastoyreveiw4936 I know, but Dolichopteryx binocularis is a really rare animals with very strange anathomy. And, you can't find a lot information about it in internet.
"How do humans walk, check this out"
Bro took acrylics to the next level💀
Davie504 must LOVE bat's! I think we who know him know exactly why! ♥
Yeah
I think he would approve (with an Italian accent)! 😂♥
Bats being the only flying (not gliding) mammals rattles around in my head every so often and it just feels weird.
Ah yes, they don’t flap their wings like birds and you’d be a fool for thinking that.
They flap their arms*
leave them out to dry and fossilize and you can throw them like a battering
Dude, I already knew that without searching it in my entire life.
I’m into paleontology, so I looked at pterosaurs which would glide and flap in a very certain way. They would probably flap lightly by moving their wings like a foot downward and then go like a foot upward. At least that is want I see. Since all pterosaurs had a curved wing tip this would help them glide more while also making them for aerodynamic. With the ability to glide like that flapping wouldn’t be a huge problem.
Then you look at birds. To flap, they normally fold their wings in. The folded wings go up and while they go up the unfold and they go down unfolded.
When you cross this information together you get a bat’s wing movement when flapping. You may be wondering how a bird and a prehistoric flying reptile (Pterosaurs aren’t dinosaurs btw) go together. I answer that with “they are simply 2 flying animals that you can compare with bats”.
And remember, all of this was done in my head.
I used to love dinosaurs and I still know over 90+ dinosaur names and 60+ facts about dinosaurs and I still know that knowledge till this day
“Slapping the air with their giant webbed hands”
And then he does a motion that looks exactly like flapping your arms.
@allgreatfictions I don't know what this guys on you can see the skin connecting the hand to the main body and legs so they definitely use the entire arm
@@tellg0t090 I get what he's saying, kind of. The majority of the force of the flap is actually from flapping the "hands" or fingers. But I live in Australia, and we've got massive bats with 1 metre wingspans. You can see them flap their whole arms.
@allgreatfictions ya I get what you mean it's just a really weird way for him to say it and very far from the Jaz hands he portraid it as
They have rocket boosters
Man has organic batarangs
It is literally the same thing with birds except that their fingers don't exist anymore. Both are flapping. Both are "slapping the air". Both are using their "arms" to fly.
As far as I know, they "flap" their wings in a figure 8 motion, much like how a swimmer will scull to maneuver in water.
If the bats hands weren't webbed, it would look like something straight out of a horror movie.
"Now bats don't flap their wings to fly, like a bird might. They actually flap their webed hands."
i love how perfectly your videos loop
Now I'm scared of bat hands
That means, Bats are always " Thumbs up " when they fly.
This man would be terrifying in the world of pokemon
Isn’t that the same exact way birds fly?
I will never look at bat hands the same again
“they flap them like birds”
bruh i didn’t even know how birds flap
Me:"I THINK THEY SLAY ALL DAY💅"
No wonder in animated movies they treat bat wings like hands.
They show bird wings as hands too.
@@mjallen1308 true
Bird have a similar structure to the wing except with birds instead of extended fingers they have feathers that extend off the tip of the fused finger
This is why I live bats, they’re so cute and weird at the same time
Imagine if bats didnt have skin membrane and instead just had those creepy fingers.
So... Still just like birds
Amazing that mammals are in the ocean on earth and above in sky.
I’m birds slap their hands-
The part where he flapped his arm behind the bat was kinda funny ngl 😂
Imagine bats without the webs, it would be scary seeing a creature like that crawling around on the ground with those skinny long arms and fingers
it covers itself when the bat wants to sleep
what did the air ever do to you bats? what did it do to you???
every single time you say "batwing" i instantly see bataffleck jumping off of the batwing and breaking the glass whilst his cape makes the bat logo
I always thought they're very weird organisms
Imagine how fast they'd go in water
Just wait til you see pteranodon wings, they said, i like the bird approach, but the weird long finger thing seems cool, what if my pinky was 10x the length of my other fingers and connected a flap of skin to my legs?
Bats fly with the power of jazz hands
I'm afraid of bats as a kid, cus they're crazy when they fly and I thought they will turn me into a vampire
They fly through the power of jazz hands
I always wondered where their hands were. Turns out their whole wing is a hand.
@masterbaiter8961 I thought it was like some kind of tissue membrane sticking out from the arm.
@masterbaiter8961 I thought the fingers either didn't exist or were tiny and at the very end.
Literally almost the same by flapping their wings like a bird
Bats are just straight out of all tommorows
That’s how Batman glides I guess
“This is my favourite type of bat” him- ignores the species of bat
Oh now they are a SpiderBat
They still got those BATceps though 💪
Great. Now every time I see a bat my only thought is going to be “vigorous JAZZ HANDS!”.
Imagine taking away the wings and just swing the long wired fingers
"Instytut Zoologiczny P.A.N. Kraków" - that's from Poland
wait so these years and years bats have been spanking the air?
I swear I heard
"And that's how bats flop"
At the end
People see how those hands became wings, and yet they still deny evolution.
"Wait, I thought that's how birds fly."
You would say bats are waving at the world to fly
Now I’m a wave back at em when I’m out side and see em flying
I mean isn't this kinda like saying "turtles don't swim they high five the water"? Aren't they still both just flapping their wings, regardless of how their bodies adapted to create the wings?
And THATS HOW bats, FLA-
Birds work really similarly actually, the wing structure is really similar
Kinda like those microscopic insects that are so darn small their wings are feathery and they just sort of swim through the air.
Imagine cutting the wings off of bat and seeing those fingers
alright so it's Bird flap, bat slap I'll remember this
These are my favorite bats carcasses
Now I know what to do if I get attacked by a bat
*grabs 4 long fingers*
The way he said "slapping the air" got me laughing 😂
Bro said bats slap the air💀
This loop is so perfect I forgot to stop the video for about 10 minutes..
I haven't thought through it, but w/out reference pictures, I starred to realize that's what they were from figuring out how to draw dragons and demons w/ a bat style of wing
Bats flap their wings like parachutes accordingly. Their wings are like aerodynamic parachutes.
So back then bats had their wings and hands like a frog feet
they be good at dribbling basketballs 🤣
