Eastern Red Bats, unknown photographer, (source)
“ come on guys we have to follow the magical trail trough the leaves !!! "
I now wonder if this could be a reason why this species was the go-to victims whenever Kenneth Oppel/the writers of the cartoon series needed a bat to get chewed on/munched.
Just, a tangential connection in their minds between adorable cinnamon puffball bats and frosted cinnamon timbits/donuts.
Last night on our way home from performing in a play, my housemates and I noticed this sleepy little red bat on a city windowsill.
Today we came back to the theater to perform the Sunday matinee and she was on the ground. :(
I scooped her up in a shirt and put her back on the windowsill (never touch a bat with your bare hands). She was still there after the show so now we are taking her to the wildlife rehabber.
Short little video of an eastern red bat!! : ) So fluffy and cute!!
From jellybean to (frosted) cinnamon bread loaf...
