I like that. And it makes sense. Without matter around you flapping wings wouldn't have the same effect... water is just a higher density form of matter than air.

Even more interesting is the fact that this is not ordinary behaviour for bats. They only swim in stressful situations which suggests someone must have thrown the guy into a body of water just to take that shot.

Or it somehow managed to wind up in the water mistakenly, and the person decided to film rather than attempt to help.
Attempting to help may have just succeeded in injuring the bat, too, though.
Hard to say how the situation came about but it's interesting any way.

It seems so natural. Almost as though a bat was designed to make it to shore.
Now I want to see the video of a manta ray at 18,000 ft.

I immediately thought of this book. Natural Selection by Dave Freedman
I read it two years ago. Was pretty fantastic for a sci-fi thiller type book.

Imagine you're at sea when a swarm of manta rays start flying around you o.O
