why are bats stigmatized as being creepy?
I mean
look at these things
they’re like tiny
fluffy
dragons
but instead of breathing fire they squeak and cuddle
in caves
and leaves
and they have funny ears and noses
I mean really
bats are amazing
This post is so fucking important to me

Today I learned that the university of Coimbra in Portugal has a great 18th-century library, the Biblioteca Joanina, that maintains a colony of bats to effectively control the population of paper-eating insects called papirófagos. These bats are less than an inch long. They roost during the day behind the bookcases and come out at night. There doesn’t seem to be any English word for papirófago, a cursory search turns up no details about what sort of insect they are, and ngl I am slightly concerned about them as a phenomenon. But I think my overarching point here is clear:
This library keeps tiny bats that look after the books.
I’m here for tiny bats saving books.
Aaaahhh!!
worth watching for the end
yo what tHE FUCK ¡
Interesting fact these two are playing but they are using play behaviors of their own species so they dont really “match up”!
Dog - is “bowing” and using open mouth “bites” as forms of play
“Play fight with me!”
Cat - is giving the little paw bats they use when playing with kittens
“Cute kittens get booped!”
They are both trying to engage the other in a playful way but not understanding the others responce.
The dog is like “you smack so no play? but not hard smack and no bad noise so not angry?”
The cat is like “why you jump around? open mouth but no chomp? no hiss so is okay?”
And then they sort of settle with a kind of communal grooming gesture they both understand!
Dog: no play? okay i lay… we calm now friend!
Cat: sad? no play? is ok i luv u weird kitten!
AMAZING

There’s a twelve year old running around in my street with an archers bow and an arrow I think followed by a gaggle of children all younger than them all carrying bats and golf clubs I don’t remember much about my middle school days but I don’t think I was ever in a street gang
haha yea i was already on my 15th murder and in control of the east coast drug ring by then. fuckin amateurs
what if, like bats, blood-sucking vampires actually represent a small percentage of the full vampire population and most horrible undead creatures of the night are adapted to eat bugs, fruits, and nectars
let
them
eat
bugs
You, a Ventrue: dignified, refined, drinks only the blood of virgins from a crystal glass
Me, a Nosferatu: vaccums up every bug in sight while screaming like the goblin I am
Me, a Toreador: Lounges dramatically on a fainting couch while beautiful people bring me beautifully arranged plates of various exotic fruits.
Me, a Malkavian: Takes a big bite out of a flower, muttering “Gotta pollinate.”
These four vampires are your party

Honduran white bats! They make a tent by chewing the leaf to cause it to collapse downward like that, and then huddle up together inside to roost.
