The Bat, Friend or Foe? Arguing on the pro side will be whoever's behind Incredible Bats: "Bats do not want to be in your hair! Dr. Tuttle of Bat Conservation International tried an experiment to test this fact, and could not get a bat to stay on the person's head even though he wrapped the hair around the bat. It flew off as soon as he took his hand away!" Additionally, "It is clear that bats confirm the literal interpretation of the creation account in Genesis." Offering an opposing viewpoint we have nine year old Shawnteria Dobbins, who awoke to find one of the flying rodents under her covers. "They are very scary. They fly around this whole house."
