Do you have any Swoobat facts?

I love Swoobat so much it's the cutest

Swoobat Facts

-The scientific name for Swoobat is "Cardilorus gobelinus" which roughly translates to "Courting-heart goblin"

-Swoobat are Chiropterans, with their closest relative being Crobat. Despite their obvious differences, they share many similar traits, l8ke both being cave dwelling and both using echo location

-While the ultrasonic waves they produce can be quite harmful, they rarely use them since it takes a lot of energy, and using it too much leaves them unable to fly for a while

-Swoobat's eyes are almost completely useless in the dark, and they rely entirely on echo location to help navigate the area they're in

-In Unova, Swoobat are often symbols of Valentines day, and many valentine's day decorations will include Swoobat on them

-Male Swoobat will often have multiple partners at a time, with the entire colony caring for their young

-Swoobat berries, fruits, and insects. Often times, they'll leave their caves at night to go hunt for fruit, but there have been Swoobat colonies thst survive purely off of bugs in their caves

-Swoobat sleep upside-down with thir tail latching onto something to keep them in place

-The average lifespan for a Swoobat is 35 to 40 years

-Swoobat have very good hearing, which is amplified by their sound waves

-When a Swoobat likes you, they'll often stamp you with their nose or wrap their tail around your arm

-Both Woobat and Swoobat are very cuddly and their fur is very soft. Because of this, and their ability to create a calming effect with their soundwaves, they are often used by therapists

-While the pokedex doesn't mention it, Swoobat still keep the suction cups on their noses. They don't roost by applying them to cave walls however

-In some parts of the world, Swoobat's nose is seen as a good luck charm, and they'll chop it off to get it. This practice is seen as unethical in most parts of the world

-Swoobat's overbite helps them keep bug types in their mouths from escaping

ah, this bat

this particular species has such a wide range of visual appearances it's nuts. from various shades of brown with mild frosting to extra value-brand hoary or red bat.

A hungry silverhaired flapflap is fed by a very bad volunteer who didn’t wear a glove like she is supposed to. Don’t tell her boss.

I can’t stop thinking about how long Golbat is when he closes his mouth

Any Woobat/Swoobat facts? <3

I already did Swoobat facts, but I haven't done Woobat yet!

Woobat Facts

-The scientific name for Woobat is "Cardilorus Chiroptera" which roughly translates to "Courting-heart bat"

-Like their scientific name suggests, Woobat are chiropterans, and their closest relatives are Zubat

-It's a common misconception that Chiropterans don't bump into each other in the dark. That isn't true. Zubat bump into each other constantly when they're not using their echo location. But, Woobat bump into each other a lot less in larger colonies. Researchers believe that it is their psychic abilities allowing them to sense the other Woobat easier

-It's also a common misconception that Woobat don't have eyes, however, this isn't the case. Woobat have beady little eyes under their fur, but they dint have very good eyesight, so they instead use echo location and psychic abilities to navigate their surroundings

-It was a common belief in Unova and Galar that the heart-nose that Woobar has is good luck. In Unova, it's still a common practice to try and get a Woobat to stamp something in order to bring good fortune to thst item, so many people will try to have a Woobat stamp their forehead in hand. In Galar though, this belief made people in Galar hunt Woobat in order to take their nose

-Woobat crossbreeds are very common since Woobat aren't at all picky with their mates

-Woobat sleep by sticking their suction-cupped noses to a surface and sticking there. They always leave a heart-shaped mark when they are done. When it's cold, Woobat will huddle close together to keep warm. It makes them look like a giant ball off fluff, and leaves a clump of heart-stamps wherever they slept

-Woobat live in large colonies in either caves or forests. The ones I. Galar are more likely to be found in caves (I think it was to avoid being hunted)

-When a male Woobat courts another pokemon, they will bring them food, flutter around them, and emit ultrasonic waves from his nose

-While Woobat shoot their psychic powers through their nose, their psychic abilities don't come from their nose. Their psychic abilities come from a part of their brain known as the psycholobe, but they just shoot the beam through their nose bcuz it's there

-Some old civilizations mistook Woobata for baby goblins. I blame Swoobat'a appearance for that

-Despite bats like Zubat and Noinar hibernating, Woobat and Swoobat do not hibernate. Instead, they'll gain a lot of fluff and fat during the winter and scrounge for the food they can

-While many people find Woobat and their antics annoying, Woobat are actually very good for the environment. They eat pests, and their waste is good fertilizer. Many farmers enjoy Woobat a lot, and some farmers will purposely try to attract woobat to their farms

I follow this lady on instagram who rescues cats, and i have been thinking about this video for literal months. behold the transformation of this wretched little beast

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

What's better than one eastern red bat? Three eastern red bats! Female Lasiurus borealis give birth to litters of 2 or 3 pups, with some outgoing mothers giving birth to as many as 5! This is highly unusual amongst bats, as most other species typically only give birth to one pup per season.
