Bats and Moles

freakyness and wierdness!


This is a picture of a bat skeleton my sister found while sweeping upstairs in what my Mom says used to be a servants quarters to me it's just an old beat up room too small for a baby to sleep in!

Anyway if you look real close at the bat's head you might notice that the bat still has some hair meaning he's not fully decomposed cool huh!?

Here I turned him over so you could see his ribcage and other parts.

Look at that claw on the wing!

See that foot I guess that's how bats get their grip when their sleeping upside down which reminds me we had two bats sleeping downstairs on the cement wall!? At first we thought they were dead because they wouldn't move and we were touching them with the broom and finally one got up and started crawling around on the wall and then they were both up and after a while they flying all over the place! Then we started wondering if bat's hibernate?

Hold on I'll Google it......................okay- It Say's that besides being nocturnal, some Bat species are known to pack it in during the winter as well. Not all bats hibernate, but those that do live at high latitudes where insect prey becomes scarce during the cold month's the rest isn't very important for this subject.

This is a star nosed mole that I found outside a couple month's ago it wasn't even dead that long it probably died the same day I found it!

Here is a picture of what it probably looked like standing up.

Look at that star! Pretty cool! I wonder what it's star nose is for- hold on I'll Google it.............................finally I found something the star is a unique and biologically novel (sorry for all the fancy words!) Sensory adaption that allows them to find food with incredibal speed and efficiency. Pretty cool I wish I had something like that!
