in case you weren’t appreciating bats today, I’ll leave this one here in honor of international bat appreciation day. bats are cooler than we’ll ever be.
Rafinesque's Big-eared Bat (Corynorhinus rafinesquii), she was the first of this species I had ever seen/captured/released for bat surveys back in 2009 and will always hold a special place in my heart.

The #BatAppreciationDay reminds me when I once had to interview a #bat and a #cactus (I have a special device for that): podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... #podcast #NatureMatchCuts #bats #pollinators #gardening #natureWriting

Imo the only relevant #species definition for #deextintion is the ecological one. In other contexts this definition is absolutely silly, because it can't distinguish between a #bat and a #bird if they hunt #insects - it defines a species by their ecological #niche.

Under that definition, an elephant with hair is in fact a #mammoth because it's can live in tundra and serve as an umbrella species capable of shaping an entire #ecosystem, serving a unique role in it.

A #dire #wolf is not actually deextinct if it's not serving the ecosystem the way the OG dire wolf used to.

He asks you if you think you did a good job. You answer as best you could, but this isn't a question you can answer correctly. Time to be put to bed, you must choose where to "sleep".
