A cloud of Honduran White Bats (Ectophylla alba), Order: Chiroptera, also known as the Caribbean White Tent-making Bat, huddled under the leaf of a Heliconia plant (of the monotypic family Heliconiaceae; False Bird-of-Paradise). They are found in South America: Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Photo by André Gilden/Getty Images via LiveScience.com.
It’s #Baturday!
A cloud of Honduran White Bats may look like cotton balls stuck under a leaf but they have a remarkable ability to construct ‘leaf-tents.’
It is one of only 6 bat species, out of ~1300, with white fur.

A landscape featuring a vast forest with a river snaking down the center towards rolling hills and a mountain range along the horizon. The sky is party cloudy. The face of a stylized spectral bat comes into face taking up half the picture to look up close at the viewer. With a smile on their face they say, "Hi!"

Happy #Baturday! We wanted to share the coolest thing we got to do recently! Thanks to Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, we participated in the opening reception of the Restore the Wild art show. We were AMAZED at the awesome art and creativity from artists of all ages. And it was all bats!
As darkness falls, beware the eerie glow of our green skeletons lurking in the shadows. They come alive at night, casting an unsettling glow. Are you brave enough to face them? #GlowInTheDark #TheOccasionalBat #Handmade #BatShapedOrnament #Baturday 💀 theoccasionalbat.ets...
A monochrome portrait of a ghost bat with a back background. They face forward and towards the left with a neutral facial expression. The edges of the bat and their whiskers have a smokey texture to them as smoke emanates from the bat. The smoke dissipating into the background in a slight fog.

Rockefeller Gift, 1968 (1978.412.210) Recorded provenance: Alan Lapiner, Arts of the Four Quarters Ltd., New York, by 1968; the MPA, New York, 1968-78 Potters occasionally applied red pigments to vessels after firing to create a more dramatic visual effect. Iron-based ochres were common, but sometimes potters used cinnabar, a mercury-rich mineral, to create bright reds. Cinnabar was imported to the North Coast from Huancavelica, a highland region some five hundred miles south of where these vessels were allegedly found.”

Australia is famously a place with some of the world’s most dangerous and frightening animals.
But it is also home to one of the world’s cutest: the flying fox, also known as the giant fruit bat. #Baturday
A stylized side portrait of a punk bat with a nose ring, ear rings, and spikes along their head. The background is a golden sunset that shines down along a ocean of blues. The bat bathes in hues of blue along with rim lighting of golds and reds. They have a big smile on their face as they recall happy moments of their past as they look out to the setting horizon. Enjoying the calm moment as the press onward into the future.
Bat Speedpaint. Reminiscence.
