Poor bats. Used as the villain in every Halloween decoration since forever, and they don’t deserve it.
Yes, they come out at night. Yes, they hang upside down. Yes, every Halloween decoration in the world uses them as the default spooky animal. But bats are also genuinely fascinating. They navigate in the dark better than anything else alive, eat thousands of mosquitoes a night, and they’re the only mammal that actually flies. Once you know that, it’s hard not to respect them a little.
And the puns? Just as fun as the animal.
