A TUTORIAL ON BATS
[HT:GC - I just post 'em folks.]

Our planet is populated with plenty of bizarre and astonishing creatures … here are two from the Bat Family ... without the need to resort to fiction.




Sucker Footed Bat

A rare bat that roosts upright clings to slick leaves by secreting a "modified sweat" into pads on its wrists and ankles, a new study says. New research shows that the bat is actually using wet adhesion, a sticky trick employed by certain insects and tree frogs.







Blood Sucking Left-Wing Ding Bat

Unable to fly on it's own and relies on the US Air Force, funded by taxpayers.
