"The day waned into a gloomy evening ... I went out alone ... walking a little in the park, watching the dark shades falling on the trees and the fitful flight of the bats, which sometimes almost touched me ..."
Charles Dickens - Bleak House

"A Beast he would be, or a bird,
As might suit, thought the Bat: but he erred.
When the battle was done,
He found that no one
Would take him for friend at his word."
[He that is neither one thing nor the other has no friends]
Walter Crane

" Now Air is hush'd, save where the weak-eyed Bat,
With short shrill Shriek flits by on leathern Wing"
- William Collins, 'Ode to Evening' (mid 18th Century)

It's #InternationalBatNight this weekend! The #BatNight has taken place every year since 1997 in more than 30 countries in Africa and Europe on the last full weekend of August. π¦
#Bats rarely feature in #GreekMythology but they appear in #Aesop's fables as a creature of dual nature, neither bird nor mouse. As an animal blurring the lines, it fits well with #Dionysos, a god who blurs the lines not between mouse and bird but between male and female.1/3 π§΅

A baby bat weighs up to 25% of its mother's body weight when it's born. That's like a human mother giving birth to a 30 lb baby. https://www.naturecompanion.ca/animals/bigbbat/ #InternationalBatNight
