Are those teeth at the edge of its mouth or are the lips very lumpy?
I believe those are lumpy lips.
Just like LSP from Adventure Time!
Very lumpy overall, but so stylish. What kind of bat is this?
Someone else said it’s a member of the leaf-nosed bat family.
Thanks, i just found some interesting reads about these fellows.
It has a bad case of cold sores.
Does anyone know why their noses evolved to look like this? Is it to channel dripping rainwater around their nostrils?
This bat’s nose shows it’s a member of the family Phyllostomidae, commonly known as leaf-nosed bats. They’re found all throughout South America, up through the Southwest of North America.
These guys echolocate through their noses instead of their mouths. It’s not known exactly how, but it’s suspected their nose shape is an adaptation to aid this process.
That’s wild. I guessed at the purpose since they hang upside down and it looks like it would protect their breathing tubes from drowning in their sleep, but I wasn’t even close!
Because it’s an ear. Kind of.
Give us this Batman version DC, you cowards!
Manbat.
