YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMove over, Bruce Wayne. This wildlife enthusiast in Berkshire, UK, is the real Batman. While James Shipman makes a living as a tree planter, he volunteers up to 40 hours a week studying bats — right down to their sex organs. "Penises are the way for the identification of a lot of species," he explained.
As the leader of the so-called "bat group," Shipman has missed weddings, birthdays and other special occasions. "He's dialed it down a bit," his wife of six years said. Watch one man's batty journey — including the most common myths about the flying rodents — in this episode of "Extraordinary People."
