the robin williams bat from fern gully
I watched the rap scene a few months back and it blew my fucking mind
This little guy, he eats mushrooms on the forest floor 
Its either painted bats or kitti's hog-nosed bat/bumblebee bat that are my favorite
Yooo that orange black bat is so cool. And the photographer is called Merlin D Tuttle. And rhe small bat is small and cute.
The orange/black/painted bat belongs to Vesper bats which are all really adorable and they tend to be small to! but not as small at the bumblebee bat, since the bumblebee bat the world smallest bat
I've never seen a microbat irl. I hear them all the timr but I can't see them cos I'm nightblind (idk if walking around with a headtorch is disruptive to them so not gunna go that route either)
It's neat you hear them at least! There's like hardly any bats where I'm at so it would be surprising to ever see or hear one. I'm sure they're around here, somewhere
Fruitbats are noisy af, you can hear the beat of their wings as they fly over or when they're squabbling in the trees. The smaller bats I hear when they're echolocating to catch the insects that flock to the lights around my apartment complex, it's like a short sharp tsk tsk/tsp tsp.
Edit: it's this species which is audible to humans white striped freetail
Edit edit: i hope you can research and find a species that lives near you. Happy bat hunting :)
aw, white striped freetail bats are so cute! and oh I can imagine fruitbats being noisy. esp. since they're bigger than regular bats since they're like megabats? but there also like the great flying fox? It's neat their also around you as well!
Basic answer but I like flying foxes/fruit bats. Watching them pass as dark shadows against the sky from my bedroom window is super calming for me.
its man appreciation day, post your favorite mans
I feel like manman should be wearing a man costume
A man inside a man? What a thing to imagine!
I miss him so much.
I love the giant golden-crowned flying fox. Their wingspan can get up to 5 feet, and they like to eat figs. I'd love to make friends with one, someday.
