They take no fall damamage. You could throw them out of a jet and they'd hit the ground and just shake it off.

Those bats were teasing that rat. Maybe the bats will evolve to be less stupid.

I had a rabid bat interact with me - attacked me. I killed it and it tested positive for rabies. It was a Sunday afternoon, and given the time, I suspected rabies as I was fighting it off.

Science takes a while sometimes.

From observation to crunching numbers to writing to manuscript submittal to revisions to publication.

You can check out their publication here at Science Direct.



I haven’t read much of the article, but I did see that rats were using a platform in the caves that hole bat-counting equipment. Maybe they ought to figure out a change there.
