Turns out this isn’t true. Bats have been found to frequently crash into each other midair particularly when emerging from roost sites.

An early bat scientist, Lazarro Spallanzani, studied bat echolocation in bats through a variety of methods including plugging their ears with wax to test that they were navigating through an auditory sense rather than sight, smell, etc. Author: Chiara Whitehurst, 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b072f67da02bcd631fe10db/2624f222-05b3-45fc-a570-cdcbb1ffbb3d/Chiara_bat_meme_1.jpeg Bat memes Fruit bats don’t consume all the pulp because it weighs them down. Instead they eat the sugary juice and spit the pulp on the ground. Pulp with saliva has the potential to infect other animals that consume and come in direct contact with it.

Dr. Frank has taken a passionate interest in a category of mammal that often is overlooked. While she may appreciate their natural beauty, many bats have endured hateful and spiteful words for so long that they have a negative perception of themselves. Bat skin is rich in elastin so that they can easily maneuver in flight, conforming their wings to fly around potential obstacles or in interesting directions, such as upside-down. Their conformity often is useful during feeding, thus gifting them the “skin of a killer.” Author: Lydia Benson, 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b072f67da02bcd631fe10db/d9b32c5c-f74b-4168-82de-97ddc6292d38/paxmansiena_8332285_118453394_1.jpg Bat memes - Make it stand out The French word for bat is "chauve souris" which technically means bald mouse. This cartoon explains why "bald mouse" is not biologically accurate, and ends with a more "accurate" name the French could have given bats (flying whale). Bats having hair is mentioned, as well as the evolutionary distance between mice and bats. [Bats are more closely related to whales than they are to rodents!] Additionally the ability of bats to echolocate and fly compared to humans and mice is brought up.

Birds focused on feathers and lightness while bats honed in on flexibility and power.
