Happy Bat Appreciation day!
Here's the letter I wrote to my 3rd grade class after being bitten by a bat with Rabies.

Accidentally I found there is #BatAppreciationDay... Being here I learnt about many weird "holidays" :blobcatjoy:
So please, enjoy this realistic #bat #drawing... one of species called "flying fox". I think this name is really cute 🦇 :foxjump:
Some photos I looked at for comparison had ones with more red/orange fur on heads, more fox-like.

Seems it's #BatAppreciationDay :neofoxfloofowo:
These are always hard to photograph against the ridiculously bright ceiling but I have a few more photos of them. Works better in the summer because bringing a lens with metal casing from 0°C into 30° 100% humidity is not going to work.

In dusk, from in among the walnut tree
and its bearing down upon the damaskina,
although we never see the bat unwrap
like a sticky sweet from the paper…—WN Herbert, “The Bat”

Beneath a Mona Lisa smile you’re splayed
for pinning. I recall the callipered
shadow of Vitruvian Man, from caverns
and hollowed trees to this small page…—Morag Smith, “Renaissance Bat”

Happy #BatAppreciationDay from our Rodrigues fruit bats! 🦇 Bats are vital pollinators, seed spreaders & pest controllers. Rodrigues fruit bats, once down to 70 individuals in the 1970s, now have a population of 20k+ thanks to conservation efforts by zoos & other partners. https://t.co/zSbaCnP8m3

Bats are gentle & intelligent creatures. We need bats! Insect-eating bats prevent diseases & save crops from pests & fruit-eaters pollinate plants. They're important to the environment - consider helping bats by building a bat box for your yard! #BatAppreciationDay https://t.co/intnk09uAY

To mark #BatAppreciationDay, the director’s cut of a batty audio piece I recorded in my garden a few years back for Melissa Harrison’s otherwise excellent podcast, ‘The Stubborn Light of Things’. (They don’t call me the David Attenborough of Hebden Bridge for nothing—or, indeed, at all.) http://richardcarter.com/sidelines/bats-podcast-piece/

The giant fruit bat (from left to right: Nanner, Peach, Seymore & Luce) relies on its keen sense of smell for locating food. As the bat feeds & flies throughout the forest, it pollinates and disperses seeds, helping to regenerate plant growth in the ecosystem #batappreciationday https://t.co/OaMuzXN0Kd

It's a misconception that vampire bats suck blood... they cut a tiny slit in an animal’s skin with their razor-sharp teeth & lap up blood. Chemicals in bat’s saliva prevent clotting so the blood flows freely until it has had its fill, which is generally < 1oz #BatAppreciationDay https://t.co/TaCoTdIH0B
