When I was younger I used to belive that bats were imaginary.
This was because the only place I had ever seen them was in Scooby Doo cartoons!
I was actually mid-teens before I realised that they were real.
The only way I found out was by watching a wildlife documentry on TV, I was very disappointed when I saw them because I had always imagined them to be the size of a seagull!!
