The fact that vampire bats will share blood (via regurgitation) with others who don't have enough is simultaneously disgusting and heartwarming.

so what i learned is that chickens are even dumber than i thought.

@DanielRenardAnimation 7 лет назад

Well, we've bred them for slaughter for quite some time now. You show them a cooking tray, they practically jump out of their feathers, climb on board, assume a position and sensually say _"Cook me like one of your french poulettes~"._

@Velata 7 лет назад

Vampire bats have a high metabolism, so if they don't feed every other day, they will die. One other cool thing they will do is adopt the orphans in their colony to keep the young alive. I think that's a pretty neat thing you've forgotten to mention!

random connection I remembered so vampire bats need to pee alot to fly right. So a cool thing about another liquid food eating creature, bees, will squirt out water randomly while flying.

So, basically vampire bats pretend to ravish their prey and make meals of the ones who fall for it? Now *that* would be a fascinating twist ending to Twilight. Maybe work in the other technique and have a mysterious lost baby suck from some sucker who tries to cuddle it. Bonus if she actually tries to give it suck, and gets sucked in a way she absolutely did not expect.
