#bat

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.

Need a bat? :neofoxnotice:

I had another fabric I wanted to try out and it turned into a bat. For some reason many of my fabrics turn into plushies, not sure why that is happening. This one is different than the previous one I have made. The previous will always be a unique bat. The new fabric looks less way too long and might be more suitable for this size. :3 I'll add a video as reply so you can judge it better.

If you want a fluffy travel companion, they are available from the link below. I only have one bat.

The lovely pattern is a scaled up version from https://www.beezeeart.com/products/stuffed-animal-bat-sewing-pattern-plush-toy-pattern-pdf

I have these three fluffs left that are looking for a new home. :3 The black one has slightly larger eyes than the others because I was running out of the correct eye sizes. :neofoxowo: Will also be the last ones with these as I am getting different ones for my future projects. For better or worse, I will find out.

If you want any of them: https://keeya.arcticfluff.eu/shop/bat-plushies

There are also still sharks left in the shop, including an unnecessarily large and pink one! :blobfoxpeekowo:

✨ Aujourd'hui je vous présente la Barbastelle d'Europe !
✨ Une petite chauve-souris au physique plutôt atypique avec des oreilles très larges "attachés" au sommet du crâne, un pelage très sombre, assez long.
✨ La Barbastelle est une espèce plutôt forestière, elle aime particulièrement les écorces décollées des arbres pour s'y cacher ☺️
✨Vous pouvez retrouver des tirages de cette illustration par ici: clairemotzart.etsy.com/listing
