Back in 2009 I was working nightshift onboard a ship in Nigerian waters. I was stuck where I was, operating the machinery, so I radioed in if someone could please bring me a coffee, because I was sure I just saw a flying dog.
“Oh, those are fruit bats, you’ll see more of them” they replied from inside, knowing exactly what I was talking about without needing more details.
And yes, I did see more of them over time; they liked hanging from the back deck work crane when it was not in use. Awesome creatures, and pretty large too.
I am those wiwi/ el feratu
Why is your nose ear (or vice-versa)?
Loving El Wiwi

My lord you have outdone yourself with this meme
Is the y-axis supposed to be the sound they make? I’ve never encountered those words before.
I thought that was a bear on the right…
Skydog! I have no idea what they’re really called, but they’re adorable.
It looks to be a black flying fox, but I’m not an expert.
I live for your memes fossilesque
It took me a while to realize that one on the right is a bat and not a bear
My old family dog looks like the fruit bat on the right lol
People are afraid of a true spectrum so instead the world is divided up into just 4 buckets.
It’s a graph. Literally two spectrums overlaid onto each other.
Also these divide into nine buckets (or 16, 25, etc). They might not been the sharpest spoon in the shed.
