I'm genuinely glad you brought this up!

A sincere, non-dragging thread explaining the incorrect but v common idea: "bats started all of this COVID-19 mess" 1/
Bats. They're rad.

They ride the wind with membranes attached to their long, skinny fingers and (sometimes) tail; they go around screaming all the time & somehow that helps them see; the title 🏆 of Smallest Mammal in the 🌎 & Fastest Flyer in the 🌎 is found amongst them 2/
They eat pests 🪳, some colonies consuming literal TONS per night; some bats are responsible for pollinating important fruits 🥭; other bats eat fruit, carry the seed, and then disperse the seeds, which is especially important during reforestation 🌳; AND THE LIST GOES ON 3/

@Pontifex On the contrary Holy Father, the darkness brings to the bat precisely that which it DOES want to face, not what it doesn’t. Bats are not under the cover of night committing crimes for which it should be ashamed, but providing invaluable services to our ecosystems and communities.
@Pontifex Bats pollinate a wide range of flowers and trees that give entire countries their goods for export; they eat literal tons of bugs per night and save farmers millions of $$ in pesticides, which also improves the quality of our food; they spread seed & help reforest after disaster.
@Pontifex Really, bats are a better represented by Our Lord’s words in Matt. 6:1 when He teaches, “Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them...” Bats practice their good works in the darkness and serve as an example to how diligent in service we ought to be.

BAT BOMBS 🦇💣

Ever heard of ‘em? They were a weapon the U.S. intended to use against Japan in World War II and, as the name suggests, they were bombs delivered by our friends: the bat. A thread. 1/

#bats #history #WWII #savethebats #lovebats #GiveBatsABreak Image
The idea of a bat bomb was born in the imagination of a dental surgeon, Lytle S. Adams, who wrote that bats were “the lowest form of animal life” and therefore found their highest calling in helping the U.S. win the war with Japan. (📸 HistoryCollection.co) 2/ Image
After presidential approval, the project was placed under the care of the U.S. Army Air Force. Mammologists tested the load-bearing capabilities of different bats and chose the Mexican free-tailed bat because of how much weight they could carry in flight. (📸 Wikipedia) 3/ Image
