“Red Dawn”

“Ghost bats are rare and elusive, with strict roost requirements. After years studying these nocturnal predators with thermal optics, I’ve discovered a handful of regularly frequented locations in the escarpment surrounding my home. This image was captured on 1 January 2025 – an incredible way to usher in the New Year.”

Ghost bats in the new wicked movie? (Spoilers)

So this is Macroderma gigas, also known as the ghost bat. It’s known for being a white, ghostly bat. In the new Wicked movie, when Glinda is dressing for her wedding small white bats are seen flying around her helping her with her outfit. I can’t find a pic/clip from the movie for the life of me probably bc it just recently came out, but I believe these may be ghost bats. Which interestingly enough, eat their own kind. They’re one of the few species of cannibalistic bats.

So, do with that information what you will. I don’t know whether this was intentional or not, but very interesting symbolism if so…
