    From this angle it looks a bit like a tiny camel with wings.

      “In no other mammal is everything so entirely subordinated to the organs of voice.” That is just hilarious. Imagine if Dracula transformed into this fellow. “HONK HONK HONK!”

    I’m always floored by the stuff nature comes up with. The creatures on this planet are so beautiful sometimes, and I don’t mean in a aww that’s cute way.

      How about a hairless ape that walks on two feet, can’t fight, no claws, no big teeth, soft and squishy, completely vulnerable but when you put them all together, they’re capable of killing all life on the planet.

        They can most certainly fight, and fight for longer than any other animal on the planet.

    Why are there two or more bat species that look like they’re poorly modeled in a 3D model making program? That doesn’t look like something Mother Nature or someone making 3D assets would make a bat look like.

Bats are cool

Bats are the only true flying mammals. There are over 1,400 species of bats, and they can be found on nearly every part of the planet. Not only are they cute, they are also important…

Studying how bats use echolocation has helped scientists develop navigational aids for the blind. Without bats’ pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control we wouldn’t have bananas, avocados, mangoes, agave, or cacao… that’s right, bats bring us tequila and chocolate!

Found a bat in need of help?

  • Do not handle it with bare hands! Bats can carry rabies.

  • Here’s a map of worldwide rescues and temporary care instructions.

  • Bats should never be kept as pets: Here’s why.

Celebrate bats with us!

Our community’s mascot is Baxter. Baxter is an Egyptian fruit bat that was cruelly kept alone and confined to a small cage for 12 years before being rescued by a bat sanctuary. You can read the full story by clicking on his name.

Our rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

  • No bat hate

Please don’t hate on bats in this community (this includes all of your edgy covid humor).
