I’m just a simple 18 year old guy and zoology student that posts random factoids about obscure animals and general animal science/zoology/biology stuff so if you like animals this is the place for you, if you only like cute animals this is not the place for you… I also like astronomy and some weirdos from youtube called the creatures so I’m prone to reblog stuff about that too because this techically is a personal blog...

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Bannana Bat (Musonycteris harrisoni)
is a unique species of bat found only in western mexico. This species gets its name not from its diet but the fact that the bat acts as a pollinator of the banana plant as it feeds on its flowers. The banana bat can feed on flowers due to its hummingbird-esque long snout and freakishly long tongue which is two thirds of the bats body length. These bats are usually seen roosting in small groups in trees and rocky overhangs.
