Now, most people think bats are gross, and actually some lady that approached my bf while in the field, told him about how she found a bat once, beat it with a broom, then ran it over with a lawn mower...just to make sure it was dead. Or another friend which told me they killed one with a shoe.
Anyways, I wanted to bring attention to the fact that bats aren't gross but cute. And a few bats, in a summer, eat the equivalent in weight of mosquitoes of 11 elephants. So, clearly, they are very good at getting rid of the stupid mosquitoes, I'm sure in a cute . Plus, they are the only mammals that can fly, echolocate, and pollinate alot of the fruit we eat. So bats are cool."
