Is it old for an African fruit bat ?
They can live up to 30 years, but 18 is still considered geriatric. So Ella is an old lady.
I want to bring her soup and do puzzles with her.
That’s adorable!
Here is Ella with her best friend Starlie - they are inseparable even though they are different species (Starlie is an Indian flying fox).
Aww!! Besties!! 💖
Bats look like cute little dogs with wings.
I feel like they can echolocate me through the screen
I thought this was some kind of fungal induced deformity at first, but no… it’s a Griffin’s Leaf Nosed Bat and that’s how they’re supposed to look! https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/120223-new-bat-species-vietnam-animals-science
Yup! I direct linked to the image because the article is paywalled.
Wow that second one is fascinating!
He just sneezed too hard …cut him some slack.
Ai?
I bet I would still attempt to pet it. My stupid heart feels like even “uggo” animals deserve all the love too.
Yikes! Well. Cuteness of a different sort.
They totally do, that’s why we call them sky puppies!
Winged lemurs from ATLA.
Honduran white bats are my fave. Just tiny floofs.
