@mycrowgirl
How large does a bat like Una get as an adult, Lisa?
She's soooooo tiny now.

[mycrowgirl@flipping.rocks]

@Guillotine_Jones Una is a southeastern Myotis. She was just over 1g at birth (she is now almost 2g at 1 week old) as an adult they get to be around 8g.

But here’s a bit of …the mothers almost always carry twins. So… just over 2grams of babies born to an animal that usually weighs around 8grams! They look absolutely absurd when pregnant.

@Yuvalne you’re very welcome! It always makes me when I see them

[stone@goblin.camp]

@mycrowgirl hey i have a tangential question! is “myotis” a species name or what?

[gkrnours@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@mycrowgirl looks like a chocolate dragon

@mycrowgirl

Whoa crazy it took me a minute to realize it's one knuckle long... How big is fully grown??

If they keep doubling body weight week over week we'll have a Godzilla in no time at all!

@mycrowgirl She looks like she's trapped inside a scrotum

[catsnfats@mastodon.world]

@LappenjammerDieZweite @mycrowgirl she’s so tiny! She must be protected at all costs! ️️🥹🥹

[mycrowgirl@flipping.rocks]

@stone almost! Myotis is the genus. So Una is a Southeastern Myotis, or “Myotis austroriparius”

The name Myotis means “mouse-eared bat” which is bullshit in my opinion because mice have rounded ears and Myotis look like little elf-wizard mofos.

[mycrowgirl@flipping.rocks]

@gkrnours she absolutely does 🥹

[stone@goblin.camp]

@mycrowgirl this is fascinating, thanks for sharing! you have solved a 30 year digimon mystery for me.

[mycrowgirl@flipping.rocks]

@float13 I for one welcome our Kaiju Sky-Puppy overlords!

Una is now around 2g, she was born at just of 1g, and adults are in the ~8g range. (And the mothers usually carry twins which 🤯 when you look at those numbers.)

[mycrowgirl@flipping.rocks]

@renardboy it seems a common observation. Someone commented on our org’s socials commented that she looked like a forskin .

[lilith_silverstein@lgbtqia.space]

@mycrowgirl Aww, cute!
