Fruit Bats!

I just spent five solid hours researching fruit bats. There are hundreds of species of bats. There are a gajillion pictures of bats on the internet. My eyeballs are at the "boiled eggs" stage of fatigue. But...I learned stuff.

Mostly what I learned is that baby bats are adorable.

If you use happen to use Facebook, I totally recommend Bat World Sanctuary who not only post useful articles, but adorable pictures like
Bats opening christmas presents


They post quite a lot of photos of their bats playing with various enrichment toys.

Bats are awesome critters and those are some great pics. Why the bat research?

(As far as orders of mammals with the most species, they're second only to rodents!)
