      If i was to guess, there a probably a ton of Bat species we do not know about, that are separated by such minute differences that to play the guessing game would be harrowing.

      Or the scientific names are really large

        Holy shit

        The second largest order of mammals after rodents, bats comprise about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide, with over 1,400 species

        Also

        So I guess the real question is what’s your favourite species of rodent (of the 2,276)?

        Not OP but I read somewhere that 20% of mammal species are bats. So you’re probably right.

    fun fact, bats are members of the Sctrotifera clade, along with some other mammals that have scrotums. Interestingly, primates are not members of this clade.
