@awlditzy Then I guess we're having a cute bat battle. http://rainbowdash.net/url/775455

@pandabear I'm very not prepared for this. http://rainbowdash.net/url/775456

@awlditzy http://rainbowdash.net/url/775457 I'm very prepared for this.

@awlditzy http://rainbowdash.net/url/775461 The Egyptian Fruit Bat happens to be one of my favorite animals
Friday, 05-Sep-14 02:32:34 UTC from web-
@pandabear I'm a fan of bats in general, one of my favourites happens to be Pallid bats. The Egyptian Fruit Bat is darling, just like most if not all fruit bats http://rainbowdash.net/url/775464

@pandabear http://rainbowdash.net/url/775465 Forgot the picture
Friday, 05-Sep-14 02:38:22 UTC from web-
@pandabear Echo-location bats and their ears, man... It's too hard to choose an exact favourite. I had only been introduced to Honduran Ghost bats a few days ago...
Friday, 05-Sep-14 02:41:51 UTC from web-
@awlditzy http://rainbowdash.net/url/775468 They have the most adorable faces. It's wonderful.

@pandabear Flying Foxes almost have them beat but they can get so big. http://rainbowdash.net/url/775471
Friday, 05-Sep-14 02:48:05 UTC from web-
@awlditzy They're slightly horrifying when full grown. But their eyes are beautiful (like most bats honestly) http://rainbowdash.net/url/775472
Friday, 05-Sep-14 02:49:15 UTC from web-
@pandabear They almost remind me of pet rats I used to have, except better in every way. (too bad you can´t domesticate them, and too good also). http://rainbowdash.net/url/775473

@pandabear Certainly not flying mice, as many European languages (well German and Russian at least) translate their names into.
Friday, 05-Sep-14 02:55:12 UTC from web-
@awlditzy Closer to flying rats than anything, but still different. They deserve their own name for sure
Friday, 05-Sep-14 02:56:33 UTC from web-
@pandabear I think it comes from their early contact with bats, seeing them simply as flying rodents. Not knowing what they eat, or really anything else of them than probably their corpses at first.

@awlditzy the portuguese name is "morcego", that might mean something
Friday, 05-Sep-14 02:56:56 UTC from web-

@pandabear yes, chirptera is their order. but all of them are named "morcegos"

@pandabear chiroptera would mean something like "finger wings" in greek, but "morcego", according to wikipedia, comes from latin and means something like "blind rat"
Friday, 05-Sep-14 03:04:29 UTC from web-
@mushi So it's pretty much the same as in the languages mentioned before.
Friday, 05-Sep-14 03:05:12 UTC from web-
@nerthos but at least it is not "flying rat" so it is a bit more crative

@mushi At least Portuguese and Spanish have more or less an actual word for bats. Although I couldn't tell you if they're formed words from something else.
Friday, 05-Sep-14 03:01:43 UTC from web-
@awlditzy wikipedia says is means something like "blind rat" from latin
Friday, 05-Sep-14 03:05:16 UTC from web-
@mushi Oh... so the same or close to in Spanish. Well, no more nonsensical than flying mouse, but that's early contact with a species for you.
Friday, 05-Sep-14 03:06:19 UTC from web-
@awlditzy some peopel here actually say "ratos voadores" (flying rats), but as a pejorative way to call pigeons
Friday, 05-Sep-14 03:10:00 UTC from web-
@mushi Same here

@awlditzy poor pigeons
Friday, 05-Sep-14 03:11:38 UTC from web-
@mushi Not their fault that people keep feeding them and the cathedral of San Michele looks like a very large shiny toilet.
Friday, 05-Sep-14 03:13:12 UTC from web-
@awlditzy well, they need to eat
Friday, 05-Sep-14 03:15:12 UTC from web-
@mushi That was more a jib at the people who feed them despite signs and laws saying not to. During the day you can barely walk through the plaza of San Marco without stepping on one per foot.

@awlditzy so, Brasília has a house for the pigeons http://www.cidadebrasilia.com.br/turismo/image/interest/mainImage/2000/pombal.jpg . people like buying popcorn and thrwoing it for them. We used to play running trhought there to see who would not get dirty because we were dumb children
Friday, 05-Sep-14 03:20:43 UTC from web-
@mushi Certainly a better idea than allowing them to dump their filth all over old buildings like pretty much everywhere else... oh wait this is more like an aviary than a quarantine.
Friday, 05-Sep-14 03:22:29 UTC from web-
@awlditzy Do as they did in new york I think, and release hawks to control the pigeons.
Friday, 05-Sep-14 03:27:12 UTC from web-
@nerthos Minneapolis has a large (kind of) population of peregrine falcons, that definitely helps. Peregrines tend to know that cities are best for pigeons.

@mushi If you throw rice at them they explode, or at least that's the myth.
