Some bats commonly found in Illinois caves include the eastern pipistrell (Pipistrellus subflavus), the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), the big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) and two federally endangered species, the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), and the gray bat (Myotis grisescens) (learn more about the gray bat from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). Several Illinois bats are threatened or endangered at the state level.

It sounds like you have the whooping cough. If you've been in, or live in, or have relatives near Illinois it's common. But, it could still be in, say, Texas. I suggest you go directly to a doctor and see. The whooping cough can be very serious.

there is one called Line Drive but it might be in north side. Unfortunately there aren't many batting cages in chicago.

Pretty much any carnivore will eat bats if they can catch them, that is why bats spend all day hiding in caves, hollow logs and so forth. Any bat that ventures out in daytime will be eaten within minutes.\n\nThe list of predtaors includes all the usual suspects such as cats, dogs, snakes, racoons, hawks, shrikes and so forth but also includes almost any carnivore you can imagine. I've seen bats being eaten by crocodiles, spiders, other bats and, as kawaii holwingwolves aid, by frogs. Bats ae incredibly small animals and are weak even for their size making them prey for almost anything at all that can catch them.\n\nAs for how bats get rabies, normally the disease is transmitted from bat to bat directly which removes any need for the animals to be attacked by another rbaid aniamnl and survive. In the real world the chances of any bat surviving an attack by a predtaor are effectively nil.\n\nYou should also realise that rabies is present in an extremely low proportion of bats. Bat biologist Edward Stashko of Oakton College, Des Plaines, Illinois, estimates that less than one-half of 1 percent of bats are rabid. He says many common misconceptions about bats, such as that they can carry rabies and infect humans without themselves being affected by the disease, grew out of faulty scientific research from the 30s, no doubt conducted at the behest of the rat lobby.\n\nAccording to a 1982 report in National Wildlife, only ten people in the U.S. and Canada have contracted rabies from bats in more than 30 years. Exclaims Dr. Stashko: "More people have died from lawn mowers than from bats. Statistically you have a better chance of being hit by lightning than being bitten by a rabid bat."\nAccording to the CDC, by far the highest incidence of rabies among animals tested occurs not in bats but in skunks.

I don't know that anyone has studied the life span of Egyptian Rousette Bats in the wild.  I'm not even sure about how much work has been done on the Megachiroptera at all in terms of life span.  However, in the Microchiroptera, it has been found that some of them are surprisingly long-lived for such small mammals.  Ten to fifteen years is not uncommon, and one little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) was re-captured 33 years after it was first tagged.  If the fruit bats show similar longetivity, they could easily live for decades.\n\nAs far as predators, I don't know of any predators that are specific to the Egyptian Rousette Bat.  The bat lifestyle, flight ability and their habit of roosting in large colonies within protected caves and caverns tends to protect them from most predators.  Snakes and monitor lizards will certainly take a few, and common predators like cats, jackals, eagles and owls will certainly take a bat if circumstances allow, but most Egyptian Rousette Bats are probably killed by farmers poisoning them to protect their crops.

bat:  male; female. I know this doesn't give you anything more specific than you already know, like bull (m) & cow (f) for alligator, but it doesn't yet seem like there's any specific names.

Dog running season for racoons and opossums is from February 15 to October 14.  From November 8 to January 31 is the normal hunting season (without dogs) for racoons and opossums.\n\nHowever, dogs can be used to hunt foxes and coyotes during their seasons (Oct. 15- February 28 and Oct. 15 - March 15, respectively).\n\nHere is a link to the game hunting guidelines in Indiana.  Check out page 13.  Hope this helps!\n\nhttp://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/huntguide1/HATG_0506/HATG0506_1-20.pdf

That sounds reasonable. Bats generally come out of the caves at night and they are pollinators. The scented nectar may attract them. If not bats, other nocturnal pollinators will be attracted.
