Mexican Free Tailed Bat Specimen

Description

I have been meaning to buy some snake and bat specimens for awhile but priorities tho. 😅
No worries because I obtained my first wet bat specimen out of the blue! I was happy but felt extremely sad. I met this little guy barely alive and before I could get a container to put him in or grab my phone to call for an expert's help it unfortunately passed.

Normally I'd let nature go on its way but the thought crossed my mind to keep it. No worries guys, I DID NOT FREE HAND this dead fellow. (One must never do so) I did manage to take it to the Biology lab to ask for help to preserve it. And there it is now! While I feel terrible that this little guy never made it, it's a good study subject and I got to lecture my animation class for awhile about these guys (including my professor) and the misconceptions of rabies (as everyone asked about that, which could be a possibility of death)

NEVER did I think I'd get to share my knowledge with such a macabre object. I have shared knowledge of the snakes I've caught with random passing peoples, but it absolutely made my day putting my knowledge to use after years of reading about these guys!
