The bat


Specimen 1

As I woke, this small bat was lying on the bed sideboard, deceased but still warm before rigor mortis had set in. Its quite a marvel....We are humbled


Specimen 2


Specimen 3

I also examined the bat’s weight and sex. I found the mammal to be quite heavy, and that too in relation to its wing span, the ratio was short. I wondered over the beginnings of the human flight, and her fashionable coat to kept warm during those cold night flights.
