Chimp & See Talk

Again the question: bat or no bat?

  • Boleyn by Boleyn moderator

    @charly03 found this video and suggested it might be a bat (see comments). I think s/he's right but I'm not 100% sure.

    Can any expert please weigh in?

    Thanks! 😄

    I thought bat initially, but after watching all 4 videos in the series I think it is a dead leaf.

    If it was a leaf moving in the breeze, wouldn't other leaves be moving too? I'm not sure why a bat would be moving either, mind you...

    wow that's a tough one !!!

    i cant decide one way or another - but certainly dead dry leaves move more (especially when they are about to fall) than healthy ones. I guess more videos from this cam will help us decide!

    My thoughts: Directly above the "bat" is another one, that looks similar. And if you look at the first move of the "bat" you can see the flatnessness of a leave ... at first I too thought of a bat, but I think its my imagination. I think its a leave. I often saw a single leave moving in nature ...no idea why.
