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.

Is the y-axis supposed to be the sound they make? I've never encountered those words before.

Now this is real science!

I live for your memes fossilesque

My lord you have outdone yourself with this meme

I thought that was a bear on the right...

My old family dog looks like the fruit bat on the right lol

It took me a while to realize that one on the right is a bat and not a bear

People are afraid of a true spectrum so instead the world is divided up into just 4 buckets.
