Not good at batting

I think gem is just as sucessful a bat as she is a squiggle. I would imagine worms to be a super delicacy for bats cause it's not exactly something a bat would usually catch. An sleepin upside down has gotta be super bloomin tricky..I can barely master sleeping the right way up.
I should be doing proper work...although it IS saturday night so I kinda just decided to get this outta my system first before getting back to proper work
I dunno why but Gem squiggle is anthro/human sized...wheras gembat is bat sized...there is no logic in my life.

Goodness Gem-Bat is making my day. XD
"Bats have a unique physiological adaptation that lets them hang around this way without exerting any energy. If you want to clench your fist around an object, you must contract several muscles in your arm, which are connected to your fingers by tendons. As one muscle contracts, it pulls a tendon, which pulls one of your fingers closed. A bat's talons close in the same way, except that their tendons are connected only to the upper body, not to a muscle. To hang upside down, a bat flies into position, pulls its claws open with other muscles and finds a surface to grip. To get the talons to grab hold of the surface, the bat simply lets its body relax. The weight of the upper body pulls down on the tendons connected to the talons, causing them to clench. The talon joints lock into position, and the bat's weight keeps them closed."

i am sorry but i had to point this out i could not help it
but it is a cute pic
...only to be woken up in the middle of the night to find the cute little squiggle-bat gone, and sitting next to the cage where she used to be he finds an extremely grateful (and rather lovely) squiggle-vampiress!
