Abroad, we often hear about superheroes who have the ability to fly. Now in Indonesia, the Bati tribe who came from Seram Island, Maluku, have a belief that there are humans flying there with wide wings and as tall as humans.
Is it true that there are mythological human beings flying from the Bati Tribe?
That's why he always hears it at night with a 'pok pok pok pok!' After that, he thought the flying humans could take their child or make their child sick. But actually, scientifically speaking, those creatures are bats that fly at night
At night, bats forage for food. Bats that are tall and large like humans are bats that usually eat fruit and flowers. The bats have the names Pteropus hypomelanus and Pteropus chrysoproctus which do exist on Seram Island.
This bat has a wing length that can reach 1.5 meters, as wide as the span of an adult human hand. That's why, when he eats while flapping his wings, sometimes people can't see him clearly because he usually goes out at night and causes misunderstandings for those who don't know the bat species.
That's what makes people think there are flying humans, even though flying humans are bats.
