IMO spectral bats sit either in the middle of weaver-z's Bat Appearance Graph, or have a significant rightward lean because of their dog-like face.
The moment they open their jaws and reveal those fangs, though, they zip into solid 'Those Feratu' territory. Or, that just solidifies their position of being in the middle of the graph.
Spectral bat collection pics. because they're fucking sublime.
I literally think the Code of Claw is A. The number one best book to give to middle schoolers to teach them about loss and war BECAUSE IT HAS SO MUCH NUANCE AND RELEVANCE TODAY STILL!!! And it teaches you so much abt grief oh my god I think half the ways I’ve coped with grief come from that series.
And B. ITS SO GOOD GOD THE TWISTS?? THE TURNS??? THE FIVE BOOK BUILDUP THE LAST PAGE???? ITS SUCH A GOOD SERIES I DONT CARE ITS WRITTEN FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS
Neither did I! It's in the OP's last fact sheet; Tadarida brasiliensis (TABR) is the scientific name for the Mexican free-tailed bat. Or, rather, the Brazilian free-tailed bat, of which the Mexican freetail is a regional subspecies thereof (Tadarida brasiliensis mexicana).
Fun fact! TABR are the fastest flying animals, clocking in with a level flight speed of almost 100mi/h - or roughly 160km/h. While the peregrine falcon is capable of sustaining higher velocities, that is in a dive and thus gravity-assisted - not sustained level flight. (and if some fellows might want to banter on about that somehow counting against the Molossidae, well... an individual has the option to reference STS-119.)
They also smell like corn chips / tacos. No, that's not a joke. https://batworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/free-tails-smell-like-tacos.pdf
A zine i made for my art class talking about bats and all the facts i know about them!
I judge how difficult a day has been by how many times I've caught myself having the Bat Fantasy
I’ve always in wondered what it must look like when the fliers try to traverse areas that they can’t fly in, like the tunnels in the Dead Land or the halls of the palace, and. Um.
I hope it looks like this.
