Happy Valentines day bat lovers! No other option today than the Heart-nosed bat. These adorable false vampire bats are fairly large, roosting in large colonies throughout the dry lowlands. Heart-nosed bats are actually “monogamish”. Males defend territories by standing on a perch and singing. trying to attract their mate from previous years with their song.

Another pokemon inspiring bat today, with the much more accurate Swoobat

Look at that! the ears in the right position! the right color! the singing behavior! The adorable heart nose! Make sure to celebrate the things you love today, be it bats, the special people in your life, or even cartoon monsters!
