Sink your teeth into this — Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>\u2019s infamous bat-biting moment just got a jaw-dropping twist … ’cause TMZ\u2019s learned it took some fang-tastic bite power to rip that poor critter\u2019s head clean off.<\/p>\n

Kathryn Slater — marketing & PR queen at Bat Conservation International in Austin — tells TMZ that Ozzy likely worked his jaw strength over time to chomp through a bat\u2019s muscle, tissue, and bone. But in the heat of the moment — fueled by pure rockstar adrenaline — Ozzy made it look freakishly easy.<\/p>\n

Ozzy\u2019s boundary-pushing stage stunt back in ’82 has long been etched in rock \u2019n\u2019 roll infamy — and while the Prince of Darkness rushed straight to the hospital for a rabies shot, Kathryn is quick to clear up the myth … most bats aren\u2019t rabid, so Ozzy probably didn\u2019t need to freak out over a fang-filled encore.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She added that, in general, bats are just minding their own business and rarely bother humans — and fun fact, out of nearly 1,500 bat species, only three are actually vampire bats. Anddddd FYI, they only sip a tiny bit of blood from livestock, not humans.<\/p>\n

BTW, Ozzy recreated the moment for a 1998 episode of VH1’s “Behind the Music” — any footage from the original bats**t incident is nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n

So despite their spooky reputation, most bats are more harmless night flyers than full-on Draculas — so bat\u2019s all, folks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ozzy Osbourne Bat Decapitation Took Jaws Of Steel!!!\ud83e\udd87 Published July 24, 2025 1:00 AM PDT | Updated July…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20586,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-20585","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20585\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
