On the downside, you crave scorpions for dinner now. On the upside, they suit your new palate just fine! Oops, another nice big stretch turned into a wingy TF. 😊 Aubie's TFTober Letter P: Pallid Bat

California now has an official state bat: the Pallid Bat (Antrozous pallidus).

Pallid bats are very cool, they're immune to scorpion venom after all, but there are literally two different species of bat found in California with California in their name that I would have expected to be named state bat before the Pallid bat.
