Guten Morgen allerseits!
Zum Sonntag ein wunderbarer mittelalterlicher #Wasserspeier (#Gargoyle) in Gestalt einer #Fledermaus. Das Wesen befindet sich am äußeren Gemäuer von Westminster Abbey.
If you smooch a taur in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, are you upside down?

The #BatAppreciationDay reminds me when I once had to interview a #bat and a #cactus (I have a special device for that): podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Imo the only relevant #species definition for #deextintion is the ecological one. In other contexts this definition is absolutely silly, because it can't distinguish between a #bat and a #bird if they hunt #insects - it defines a species by their ecological #niche.
Under that definition, an elephant with hair is in fact a #mammoth because it's can live in tundra and serve as an umbrella species capable of shaping an entire #ecosystem, serving a unique role in it.
A #dire #wolf is not actually deextinct if it's not serving the ecosystem the way the OG dire wolf used to.

Spontaneously took a trip to cockatoo island to shake out the brain after work, and saw dozens of sailboats criss-cross each other. Four boats drove basically a hashpund pattern with a maximum of 3-5 meters distance, at speed.
Currently 1932 local, and I am watching hundreds or maybe thousands of humongous #bat fly East towards the ocean. It's like a Hitchcock movie, just with bats

Aujourd'hui je vous présente la Barbastelle d'Europe !
Une petite chauve-souris au physique plutôt atypique avec des oreilles très larges "attachés" au sommet du crâne, un pelage très sombre, assez long.
La Barbastelle est une espèce plutôt forestière, elle aime particulièrement les écorces décollées des arbres pour s'y cacher

So my cousin had a unique customer at work the other night
I'm not sure why I don't question... "Is that a BAT flying around my living room?" instead of what I did, "There's a bat here. Let me take a video and then figure out how to safely get it out of here".
For the record, I live in the US Midwest and it's been cold, doors and windows have not been left open for months. There are no holes in the ceilings or walls, I have no idea how this cute critter got in but I'm happy to report I was able to guide it out without any contact.
I started on my photography journey back in 2022 and I snapped photo of my new camera body I bought last year with my fursuit head. Deriaz liked the picture so much he decided to paint it and I can't get over how great it turned out.

I "scaled" the bat a bit... the result is this fluffy monster.
The ears and wings turned out a bit "floppy" due to their size but you can give winghugs with them! The fur is also ridiculously soft. Their wingspan is almost 80 cm and they are about 30 cm high. Hm, don't remember now if that included the ears or not.
Anyway, if you would like to have one, the only one I have: https://ko-fi.com/s/eb2c3e623e
I had some issues with the outside EU shipping destinations, so it's for now limited to Europe. I might be able to extend that again, you can read about it on the shop page as to why. And I can send it outside EU too but somewhat high shipping costs.
Oh and if you want to create your own bat, the pattern for it is from https://www.beezeeart.com/products/stuffed-animal-bat-sewing-pattern-plush-toy-pattern-pdf
