This video reveals the key role of taming bats as a basis for Dr. Tuttle’s amazing success in getting bats to perform naturally in front of his camera and high speed flashes. Many of the scenes in the award-winning documentary “The Secret World of Bats”, which originally aired on CBS Television in 1992, would not have been possible without this skill that Merlin has with bats. <br /> <br />In his more than 55 years of working with bats, he has never been attacked or bitten unprovoked by a bat. He has found them typically to rank among our planet’s most gentle and intelligent mammals. To see more photos and learn more about Merlin’s continuing work, visit www.merlintuttle.com
