Greater bulldog bats are great at fishing! They use echolocation to detect water ripples, then scoop up fish with a special pouch between their legs.

My wife scooped me up with a special pouch between her legs.

Lucky you!

OK, but what's the model's name?

Wish we could ask the model.

Why are bats so adorable? Even though this one is snarfing down a fish it still manages to be cute.

They are indeed adorable! If you are on Instagram, I highly recommend following Dr. Alyson Brokaw aka "batgirl." She posts amazing stuff about bats.
