Terrible creatures that are the biggest vectors of rabies
Fear them that if you find one near you where it shouldn't be you'll remember to kill it and get a rabies vaccine series

Why do they hold them like that, so tight and squished
Looks like the paint meme of human taking a pic of animal

Found out about these guys awhile ago, they’re super cool.

Why are bat faces so diverse? Some look "ugly" while others look like dogs.

>>4959022
Depends on what they hunt. The ones that look like dogs tend to be fruit-eaters and the ugly ones tend to eat insects or other animals.

Any BatMen?

>how can i get rid of a bat in my house?
first, determine if there is a young/captive one inside, in such a case you will need to call an official wildlife rehabilitator in your area.

How can things that are basically entirely different animals develop flight with fleshy appendages when it seems extremely difficult for them compared to birds? Also, they allegedly descend from a bat-winged rodent rather than dinosaurs which just happened to have the same ability? Yeah right.
Just found out fruit bats don't even use the echolocation that bats are known for.

Here's a bat I found inside once.

It's really mean that they temporarily deafened some bats :(
They probably set off a firecracker near the head

>>4958425 (OP)
Hate them flying little rats.
