Hello, I am a mammalian predator known as the Papillose woolly bat.

Don't forget the mammalian ~~predator~~ fruit predator the wrinkle faced bat, a creature so ugly its face has a foreskin.

Edit: oops. They're frugivores!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I thought they were exclusive fruit eaters.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ohhhh shit, you're right! They're... Uh... Fruit predators, stalking the wild papaya.

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is a glorious save. Well done.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Haha, I did what I could. Thanks!

fruit bats exclusively eat fruits, the "microbats" are the ones that hunt.

They’re super small, so either behind the ears or obscured by the fur.

Here’s a picture of one from a different angle. You can see how small the eyes are.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

Damn, thay're so ugly that they're cute

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

They might be covered by the ear? I'm not sure, they definitely have eyes — but they are very small.

[–] snek_boi@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Ah, this is why I love Lemmy.

How do we know OP isn't a lizard person trying to throw us off their scent?

What I love so much about this episode is that I'm 99% sure the actor in the suit can't see a damn thing. He's just bumbling around in the desert heat, trying to hit his marks, while straining to hear Shatner and the director through all the sweat and foam rubber.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Seriously, lol. Whenever you hear interviews by actors talking about their heavily costumed roles, they talk about it like it's war trauma. I bet this dude was having a bad day.

Also, I always laugh when I see costumes that can't bend at the neck and have to turn like this. Reminds me of Batman.

They are actually a lizard person who is also a furry

Hmm I dunno, take a look at any bird-of-paradise or male peacock and tell me that the dinosaur's descents aren't beautiful.

The reality is we have a very loose idea of what dinosaurs really looked like, because what remains of them is so many millions of years old that it's decayed completely, or if we're exceptionally lucky - been fossilized. Feathers, skin, colours, fluorescences, bio-luminescence - 99.9999% lost to time, and could have been very beautiful.

[–] seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 months ago

Mmmmm no very mammalian

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Could’ve been cute tho

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Cue, to actually answer your question.

Mammalian bias is real
