As #batweek comes to a close, I thought I'd highlight a few of the coolest species of the over 1,300 we know of.
1. Hammerhead bat: Male vocal cords are about 3x larger than female, and they have large resonating chambers on their faces. Females appear more like a typical megabat.
2. Honduran White Bat constructs “tents“ out of understory plant leaves by strategically cutting the leaf ribs with its teeth; it roosts in these tents during the day ↩
1. I teach first grade so yes! I‘m thinking of going as a bat like Stellaluna.
2. Currently reading The Southern Book Club‘s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix and it‘s pretty darn good so far!
Thanks for asking @TheSpineView !

This is a cute children‘s book (part of the Bats series) with an autumn & slightly spooky (it‘s bats) 🦇🦇🦇 vibe so I‘m counting it for #HauntedShelf. I‘m also using it for the #BookScavengerHunt #Luck prompt as these book-loving bats get lucky when a library window is left open & they get to spend the evening at the library. .
Read during the readathons listed in comments below. Go Team #Flerken 👻

A bat basically screams its head off all night to find its food via echolocation. Luckily, most of it is too high pitched for humans to hear 😉
