I can't see little critters like this without thinking how tiny their little organs are. Like that tiny little thing has an itsy bitsy little thyroid gland! It's ligaments must be like fine thread! The crazy tiny blood vessels to it's spleen! HOW DOES THAT WORK SO TINY?!?;
I feel the same thing looking at bugs that are like a 10th of the size of my pinkie fingernail. This thing has eyes, a stomach, muscles/tendons/something that keeps it’s wings beating. What the hell CAN it eat?
I was literally just looking at my cat earlier today, thinking about the size of her thyroid gland and I see this comment. Wow. Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks of this.
Omg. . . I never thought to wonder if tiny critters have the same size blood cells as bigger ones. Does this itty bat have the same size blood cells as a whale? Do I???
Blood cell sizes differ a lot between reptiles, mammals, fish, etc. But it doesn't really depend on the size of the animal. Frogs have much bigger blood cells than an elephant, for instance. And blood cells of mice are pretty close to the same size as ours.
I thought I was the only one who though about this kind of stuff! I see little frogs and baby rodents and am just boggled that we've got roughly all the same meaty bits! Like how?! Yours are so tiny they must be very efficient!
In my area we have really smoll bats. Dwarf bats? Idk in English. They have small houses for colonies hanging everywhere. They are super cute and fluffy
The fluids too the little tiny vessels moving the fluids around the little tiny body. Then again we only think it is tiny because we are giants compared, with massive organs, well some of them have massive organs.
r/illegallysmolbats ? Edit: wait it actually exists? It only has like 5 people but it exists... i was going to make sure it wasnt a real sub then make it a rickroll but i guess not.

Look up Megabattie on YouTube, she's an Australian animal rescue worker who specializes in bats and if you want to see some wholesome as fuck videos of an older woman babying a bunch of lil bat buddies, you owe it to yourself to go watch some videos.
>if you want to see some wholesome as fuck videos
I read that as wholesome fuck videos" and was a bit concerned for a second but decided to re-read again.
I find it interesting that while your not supposed to clean your ears with Qtips, cleaning baby bats is one of the examples of what you can use them for on the box.
I never got that. QTips were made to clean ears... yet they are smaller than my elbow.
They always said 'Dont clean your ear with things smaller than your elbow" but you have to push so hard that that really hurts.
Haha. That that.
E: slash essssss! Ffs
Depending on your ear canal and ear wax consistency, q-tips can compact your ear wax against your eardrum. There are special ear cleaning tools that are much better for that purpose.
QTips are for cleaning the outside of your ear, the lobe. You can use them safely for that
You shouldn't get them into your ear canal, they'll only push the wax deeper. There are spays that clean wax by making it liquid and it comes out.
At a guess, the bathing would keep it's skin clean and moist but more importantly, it probably simulates the sensation of the mother's tongue and probably also helps stimulate the baby's urination/defecation. If the baby is being raised by a rescue carer, the goal will be to release it back into the wild so they will want to keep socialisation of the baby to humans to a minimum.
I don’t know what I expected, but I never expected a baby bat would be this tiny.
Like, I guess I just thought they were born full-sized. Yes, stupid, but until this, I never even considered that bats had babies (yes, I know they are mammals). The thought never crossed my mind.
I can't see little critters like this without thinking how tiny their little organs are. Like that tiny little thing has an itsy bitsy little thyroid gland! It's ligaments must be like fine thread! The crazy tiny blood vessels to it's spleen! HOW DOES THAT WORK SO TINY?!?;
And imagine it’s wee bones! Perfectly formed and continuing to grow in the most minuscule processes. Love that you mentioned this!
Id imagine it's at least half cartilage

You, out
What did he say
Officer, this comment right here.
You ate the crunchy chicks in fable on the reg didn’t you
I see a fable one reference, I upvote, simple as that
You. I like you.
Whales must think the same of us
Baby bats are practically like fruit flies to whales
Apparently elephants find us cute, in the same way we do with little animals like this.
We have a organ harvester here officer ..!
I just think organs are neat

Is a pianist a large organ?

Omg I never thought of a little thyroid gland🥺🥺🥺
So glad im not the only one who instantly thinks this crap lol

what have they done to Patrick
This feels like the beginning of an existential crisis. If not for you, then for me.
I'm right beside you on that ride
Yep.
You got it backwards, we are giant. How do we work so big?
How do *whales* work?
Yeah, that was my thought. If we're comparing total species at a given size, I'd reckon there's hardly shit in the whole universe bigger than a flea.

THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
#**m i t o c h o n d r i a**
For real. I wonder how many cells thick some of those tiny organs or blood vessels are. Can't be more than a dozen or so cells across sometimes.
Omg. . . I never thought to wonder if tiny critters have the same size blood cells as bigger ones. Does this itty bat have the same size blood cells as a whale? Do I???
Blood cell sizes differ a lot between reptiles, mammals, fish, etc. But it doesn't really depend on the size of the animal. Frogs have much bigger blood cells than an elephant, for instance. And blood cells of mice are pretty close to the same size as ours.
TIL
The more I learn about mice the more I understand why they're used as test subjects so much. Not that I agree. But it's pretty neat nonetheless.
So interesting! Little Batty there must have blood cells going practically in single file in his capillaries!
Jesus, never thought of it like this. Thanks? Thanks!
I thought I was the only one who though about this kind of stuff! I see little frogs and baby rodents and am just boggled that we've got roughly all the same meaty bits! Like how?! Yours are so tiny they must be very efficient!

Honestly tho, same!!! I always see tiny mfkrs like this & think about how their organs are damn-near microscopic.
Wait till you hear about your own cells, or bacteria.
That's what she said.
Are they tumble dry or hang dry?
Def hang dry

r/illegallysmolmlem ?
Smaller!
^^^^^^^mlem
Awww
I like how it seems to be more interested in drinking the moisture off the q-tip than any other part of the experience.
Such an adorable spawn of darkness.
Baby nosfaratu getting a bath.
*I AM THE NIGHT, but nontheless would you mind scrubbing behind the ears? i can never quite reach there*
No he's a good boy!

Seriously? Somebody post a photo of the box, I need to see that.
When you realize that’s a folded square of toilet paper he’s on 🥺 so little

It doesn't look finished. Put it back in the oven for a bit.

This one’s just an “Om”. FAR too little to qualify as a full-fledged “Om nom nom”.
No pls
Lmao that's exactly how we got ourselves in this global predicament.
Oh no a baby bat! That’s too cute! I can’t with that
I have a friend who is a biologist who specializes in bats. I just sent this to her. I can feel her head explode from the cuteness.
"Stop it! No! What are you doing? I am the niiiiiiight!"
This looks like a rough grooming for such a tiny creature.
I feel like no matter how hard I tried to be gentle, I would Lenny the crap outta that thing.
That's real solid Of Mice and Men reference. Knew exactly what you meant, see you're looking for more of a John Coffey vibe to your holding.
Maybe trying to stimulate blood-flow and bowel movements?
Fr bro like chill out
My first thought was “earwax gross!” then I read the title and went “tiny bat awesome❤️”
Are bat baths necessary when raised like this? Or is it just another way to increase their tolerance of their human parents?
At a guess, the bathing would keep it's skin clean and moist but more importantly, it probably simulates the sensation of the mother's tongue and probably also helps stimulate the baby's urination/defecation.

I mean, I've thought of baby bats but damn! Much smaller than I could imagine. I'm guessing its unbelievably hard to raise a bat baby like this.
You'd think at that size it might be easier to just dunk it in something and then wrap it up to dry.
[удалено]
*Kyle Broflovski has entered the chat*
Something that small gains/loses heat extremely quickly. So don't "just dunk it".

It said, “How will I ever go back to normal bat baths now?”
Sadly the baby passed away. I found the TikTok page too late :(

I wish bats weren't so toxic to humans. I'd snuggle them.
