"Thousands of new plant and animal species were discovered in 2007, though only 10 were bizarre enough, lethal enough or just plain cool enough to garner spots on a new Top-10 list."

#6 is the fruit bat, Styloctenium mindorensis. Does this even look like a bat? Look at dat sweet wittle face! Like a cross between a puppy and a squirrel. I'm (semi) in love.

Dunno. But I will say that I have many times seriously considered getting a sugar glider, which is as close to a fruit bat as you can get w/o it actually being a bat.

That bat looks kind of like how I feel when I first wake up, tho'. *g*

Seriously? I mean...you really think that rat-with-wings is CUTE? *shivers*

If ever the phrase bat-crazy made sense, this is the perfect example. :)

Aw, c'mon--does that look like a rat to you? Look at those wise little eyes. :)

Okay, it is cute, but the whole possibilty of rabies makes me happy to admire from afar. :-)

You mean I'm not the only girl who thinks bats are awesome? I love bats! They're so cute.

You're TOTALLY not the only girl who thinks bats are awesome! I even have the tattoo to prove it! *resists urge to go into random fangirl "Bat's are awesome because..." speech...(yes, I have several) This one I can't resist though. Did you know only 1/2 of 1% of bats have rabies? TINY number!!

We've got a few bats who seem to live in our pine trees. We see them at night swooping around our yard. My neighbors get freaked out by them, but I love watching them. And I love it whenever they decided to rest for the day on the side of our house. They are just too cute!

I've even got an adorable little stuffed bat sitting on top of my monitor.

I think bats get a bad rap.

Occasioanlly I'll see a flock of them outside. I really like them.

That thing is looking at us with Evil Eyes, ready to pounce at any minute and rip open our throats. And that's the truth!

Well, wouldn't YOU if some giant were squeezing you in his hand? ;)

That sweet little thing looks evil to me!
