California now has an official state bat: the Pallid Bat (Antrozous pallidus).

Pallid bats are very cool, they're immune to scorpion venom after all, but there are literally two different species of bat found in California with California in their name that I would have expected to be named state bat before the Pallid bat.

couldnt decide on drawing fish or horsies

#the first one is bc I was totk infodumping and I was like yoo what if the other races lived in the depths at some point too #like. there are statues that depict each of the races but no evidence they actually lived down there #it would be so cool if we had stories of Zora that lived in the depths and changed from being in the dark for so long. like their scales #glowed and they grew long fins to feel and smell in the dark. we could have Zora based on deep sea creatures #the other one I wanted to do was depths rito but there are so few documented nocturnal birds. even less people associate with darkness #so it would have been mostly owls but maybe kiwi and nightjars. rito are so hard to draw #the other thing I was thinking was they evolved again and turned into bats. theyre pretty damn good at evolving so why not #but then my brain was like horsies. so I drew bat fluttershy #I want to give her a bat nose and membrane.. apparently the mane 6 turn her back but she grows a fang. but I also want her to have bat #wings under her feathers. like it looks like normal Pegasus wings from the outside but the inside is lined like a bats wing with membrane yk #femoral membrane and leaf nose also. maybe she gets quieter flying and better night vision plssss #discord also for fun but I wanna stylize him tmrw #my art #myart #doodles #mlp #my little pony #mlp fluttershy #mlp discord #loz #botw #totk #botw zora #eye contact #scopo

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Vampire bats are blood-suckers, but they’re not selfish; those that don’t find enough to eat will groom their colony mates in exchange for regurgitated blood. Researchers have also observed other bats feeding new mothers for up to two weeks after they give birth.

Howdy! Could you rate Waterhouse's leaf-nosed bat?

Yes, thank you for your patience!

Today's Bat: Waterhouse's Leaf-Nosed Bat

Environmental Impact: The Waterhouse's Leaf-Nosed Bat has quite a range across Latin America. They tend to hunt low-to-the-ground and exhibit "hovering" maneuvers over grasses, and also utilize broad echolocation for a shorter hunting range. They have few predators, though they're known to carry parasites and nematodes. They're picky about roosts, choosing caves with varying sun exposure so they can circulate throughout and regulate their body temperatures. The Waterhouse likes to stay out of humanity's way, but they certainly won't pass up an abandoned mine shaft if the opportunity strikes. All in all, a solid contender!

🦇🦇🦇/5

Beauty: These guys boast the classic bat aesthetic: cartilaginous ridges in the ear, proud nose, grey-brown fur, and a median body size. This is a bat I'd take home to meet my parents, for sure.

🦇🦇🦇/5

Power: In another pique of reproductive intrigue, the Waterhouse Leaf-Nosed Bat chose an oddity for each sex. For one, a male bat's sperm count will vary throughout the year, which is the indicating factor for mating seasons. On the other side of the coin, females utilize the T4 Hormone to create a "delated development" pattern in embryos: by lowering the T4 hormone in the third trimester, they're able to speed the development of the offspring. Finally, the Waterhouse, while normally a more solitary kind of bat, boasts impressive mothering skills. Their nursery roosts can number up to 100 individuals!

🦇🦇🦇/5

Overall: The Waterhouse's Leaf-Nosed Bat is to bats what the name Chris is to the Marvel filmography: standard, foundational, a joy to have around.

And as usual Art Fight is getting my ass moving, hooray! This year I'm trying "batification" attacks to hopefully kick-start my motivation and it's working great actually. I'm very proud of my anatomy right now, it feels nice to like my own art again. Now I just gotta find something to paint!
