Man stuffs vampire bats into his mouth! Here's why

2016-07-31 34

A bizarre video has emerged of a man putting two vampire bats in his mouth.

The footage, shot earlier this year in Jacunda, Brazil, shows activist Arteval Duarte holding two vampire bats in his mouth before he lets them fly away. Arteval often films himself putting bizarre creatures in his mouth, like snakes and a tarantula, to raise awareness about issues like deforestation. The destruction of Brazil's Amazon forest jumped by 16 percent in 2015 from the previous year, the dailymail reported.

Common vampire bats are known to feed on the blood of livestock.
