u/whoreforchalupas 26d ago

13 was especially horrifying after seeing 12 and going “aww, well isn’t he kinda cute.” immediate jump scare upon swiping

u/Helianthus_999 26d ago

You warned me about 13 and I still wasn't prepared enough to not jump

So many cuties. And so many creepos chuckling menacingly from the shadows. What a great collection.

I had no idea how terrifying most of their noses are.

u/aquoad 26d ago

Why do they mostly have such weird noses?

Also, should have been some fruit bats in the list, they're especially cute.

u/CutelessTwerp 26d ago

i think the difference in noses and their extra flaps and stuff have to do with the reflection and reading of their calls, different faces for the different calls and different ways of reading those calls to tell what is in front of them. the wrinkles and such feel the vibrations and deflections more so they can hunt and navigate better

All of the bats depicted are micro bats, fruit bats are mega bats and they’re classified differently this post does a good job of showing the different micro bats. Fun fact: micro bats are named based on their features particularly their noses. Look up some of the Latin names and it’s a whole journey.

I'm used to seeing fruit bats and thinking of bats overall as cute, but some of these look like right perverts
