ACCEPT THE LOVE CONFESSION FROM CROWBEEHELL >:C
This seems like a pretty silly thing to say to someone I've known for a long time so I don't know why I feel a sense of obligation to respond to it
#pipistrellus#i can't not like you#don't reblog ///#also i'm not actually sure if crowbarhell and crowbeehel (or crowbarhell and crowbees???) are different people?#sleepy--girl--101

Pipistrello is the Italian word for "bat"! This guy looks surprised about that! With over 1400 species all around the world, there are many names for our chiropteran friends but by any other name they would be just as sweet!

Hi! I'm currently helping to rehab this little guy and was wondering if you'd like to rate him (or the species in general, but also him if you like) Common Pippistrelle
Hello, little one! Best of luck to you in your rehabilitation efforts! (If you happen to be part of a rescue, I'd be happy to post about them!)
Today's Bat: Common Pipistrelle
Environmental Impact: I don't think I've ever met a less discerning bat. The range on these guys spreads across most of Europe, into Morocco, and even out to western Asia. They'll roost just about anywhere, changing location from nursery to nursery and season to season. Limestone caves, park trees, siding panels? Pipistrellus pipistrellus calls that free real estate. Interestingly, they do seem to form habits despite their widespread nature. Individuals will continually hunt in the same areas, especially around lakes, ponds, gardens, and parks. Additionally, their migratory range is a tight 100km (about 62 miles). If you hate mosquitoes and other common pest insects, you'll love this species' efficiency and indiscriminate nature.
🦇🦇🦇/5
Beauty: Just look at that little fella. Classic brown coat, dark wing membranes, and the sweetest little snoot you ever saw. If you don't love the Common Pipistrelle on looks alone, I'm afraid your condition is terminal.
🦇🦇🦇🦇/5
Power: Aside from the classics (delayed fertilization, extreme adaptability), I learned something sweet about the Common Pipistrelle. Mating season is largely kept to autumn, during which time males will perform specific mating rituals for females. A beautiful song and swooping dance would certainly capture my heart!
🦇🦇🦇/5
Overall: Thank you for sharing this little friend with us all. My own personal experience with the Common Pipistrelle had me partial to them, so it was fun to learn a little more!
🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇/5

🌿🦇 𝓑𝓪𝓽𝓼 𝓸𝓯 𝓦𝓪𝓷𝓪𝓷𝓰 𝓒𝓸𝓷𝓼𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓐𝓻𝓮𝓪 🦇🌿
Finally sharing this beautiful project, I'm thankful i got to do some illustrations for it ! Many thanks to Elise Sivault for trusting me with this 🦇 See the other poster here ! more details about the project under the cut !
Papua New Guinea is a biodiversity hotspot home to 95 species of bats that are increasingly threatened by fragmentation because of commercial logging and agricultural practices. The primary objective of this project was to enhance our comprehension of the ecology of various understudied bat species native to Papua New Guinea. Additionally, it aimed to shed light on the pivotal role these bats play in providing essential ecosystem services such as pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control within two designated conservation areas.
Such endeavors have the potential to significantly increase conservation efforts in this biodiversity hotspot, where scientific studies are scarce and the knowledge of species remains limited among the local communities residing in the towns and villages adjoining the two conservation areas.

Common pipistrelle
Scientific name: Pipistrellus pipistrellus
The common pipistrelle is so small, it can fit into a matchbox! Despite its size, it can easily eat 3,000 insects a night: look for it flitting around the garden or a lit lamp post as it chases its prey.

Bats are real bats confirmed
I’m bored and have to read literature but also too deep into the bat family fan diction to not see this sh*t when I’m reading it. Here you go, it has been scientifically confirmed that the bats are just horny little patrolling controlling little shits. Take this rambling with a grain of salt, my brain is melted.
The study is ‘Songflight behavior and mating system of the pipistrelle bat (pipistrellus pipistrellus) in an urban habitat’ for those interested.
#batman#dc#bruce wayne#dc robin#batman and robin#bats being bats#my brain is so dead rn#it isn’t even lunch yet#I totally see Danny being a shit about this though#dpxdc#if he knew and it was dpxdc especially with a ship or sibling included

Happy pride month, the best thing about living in the UK is that every one of our bat species have been observed engaging in homosexual behaviour of some variety.
But it's not just them! You might be surprised at just how many bats are gay, both male/male AND female/female, with a lot of bats displaying behaviour that favours both male and female partners! This behaviour has been observed in the wild in Pteropus, Pipistrellus, Myotis, Nyctalus, Plecotus, Rhinolophus, and more! As well as in captivity in Desmodus! The exact behaviours vary between species, but include allogrooming, fellatio, mounting, and even inter-species homosexual sex!
#common pipistrelle#WOO I LOVE THIS COUNTRY OUR BATS ARE FUCKING GAAYYYYYYY#obligatory (bc i KNOW how annoying people can be about it) human sexuality is not super applicable to non human animals#but please consider than homosexual behaviour was discounted and discredited in animals in order to discredit human homosexuals#and that it is in fact entirely natural <3

Pipistrelle bats have a magnetic compass and calibrate it at sunset, according to a new study. An international team of researchers led by the University of Oldenburg has used behavioral experiments to show that two different components of the Earth's magnetic field influence the orientation of these animals. Like birds, they seem to be sensitive to magnetic inclination. The soprano pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pygmaeus) weighs only a few grams, but it is estimated that members of this small bat species cover thousands of kilometers every year on their nocturnal migrations from north-eastern to south-western Europe. Precisely how they find their way across such long distances in the dark remains unclear.
