    Not all bats, a few species of bats, and it’s technically menstration but different from “overt menstration” found in humans and primates.

    Most mammals have an estrous cycle where the uterine lining is reabsorbed if pregnancy doesn’t occur. If the uterine lining is destroyed instead, its menstration. Here’s a paper that has an overview of the other mammals that have menstrual cycles and how they work.

          YKINMK? Lemmy guess:

          • Your Kink Is Not My Kitchen?
          • Yolanda Knows If Neutered Monkeys Kneel
          • Your Kids Invented No Machines, Kevin!

              Nah, at least one of the Ks has to have something to do with kitchens, Kevins or kneeling. Those are the rules that I just made up for no apparent reason.

        I like the idea of you just sitting on your couch, suddenly looking around and slapping your knees to stand, just saying “WELP THAT DOES IT. I AIN’T LEARNING SHIT TODAY.”

          Pretty sure that’s standard practice right before turning on Faux News.

      Some people argue that bats are primates, but I don’t know enough about taxonomy to say. I do know that there was a defining feature for primates that had to get deleted from the primate definition because we found it in bats.
