based on the image it looks like this is taking place in a cave, so I think this is from the wild.

Ya I figured that was in a cave in the wild. My question was more 'has no bat ever given birth in view of humans even in captivity'? As I know some animals seem to never mate or give birth when removed from their natural habitat but I would not think bats amongst them.

The way they wrote it makes me think perhaps it has not happened in captivity either. But I struggle to believe that.

Interesting. I wonder how stable bat colonies are in captivity and if they mate/ give birth in that environment. So it could be HUGE like that, or it could be just the first time its been filmed in the wild. Nice catch. @Zookeeper Gabe, thoughts?

I have to imagine this would be the first time it’s been caught in the wild. There are plenty of bat species that do great and reproduce in captivity, although maybe it’s never been caught on camera?

Can't bring myself to 'like' this post despite enjoying learning about it. But, as you say, brutal and sad.

R.I.P lonesome George and may you teach the world something valuable. Actually you already have!

If it was caught on camera the Chinese government has deleted it by now

Yes, we don't Dock here in the UK.

Fucking love it

Never quite understood how they tapped into dogs brains and found out they wanted their tails docked. To me, it seems like a cruel ritual.

My big boy has all his assets intact.
