all these fucking fools on my dashboard talk about how they love bats but only show pictures of fruit bats fuck you start posting pictures of all bats i can’t stand this fucking bat erasure
look at him he’s not your conventionally attractive bat but he deserves just as much love
Yo, you want some adorable non-fruit bats? Gotcha covered, pals!
Long Eared Bat, huge ears and an adorable face!
Mexican Free Tailed Bat, named for the fact that their uropatagium (back leg membrane) doesn’t cover their tail, leaving them with a teeny mouse-like tail.
Gould’s Wattled Bat, they got some pearly white sharp teeth, but they tell great jokes and always laugh at yours too.
“HAHAHAHAHA!”
Hoary Bat, AKA the bat that looks like they’re covered in powdered sugar.
Bulldog Bat, a bulldog… with wings <3
Vampire Bat, often seen as creepy, but they’re actually really cute. Also fun fact, vampire bats live in a social structure where able-bodied bats go out and feed and then share part of their meal with old/weak/sick members who cannot forage themselves. No survival of the fittest here, every bat helps every bat out <3
And lastly, the Painted Bat, and yes, those are its actual colors. Can’t get any more Halloween than that <3
I’d like to add one of my favorite bats, the Hammer-headed bat. He’s such a funky little guy
This is the Honduran White Bat! He sleeps under big jungle leaves and his nose looks like a pasta.
