Description

And the technical winner of this "week"'s contest is :iconfakapokebio:...though he did technically guess zubat and golbat...but hey, I don't see it listed anywhere else on that preview. Congratulations :iconfakapokebio:!

Anyway...

Yeah...it's zubat. It's my second flying type, my very first poison type, and it's not a reptile (which at this point is a nice change of pace). I'm sorry it took so long for me to put this baby up, but what with my new job, traveling between here and five hours away from here, and school starting, things have been a little hectic lately...but I'll discuss that a little more in my journal. I'd originally intended to put up a second preview image (much more obvious...it would have been its mouth), but time didn't allow it. I'll probably try to pump out my next "biology of" by next Thursday so I can get credit for it, but I may not get to it...

Anyway, hope you like it...keep watching! ;-)

:pokeball: No. 041 - Zubat

"Zubat skull"

"Zubat are born without working eyes. After all, their nocturnal nature coupled with their subterrainean ecosystem leaves little need for photo-receptors. As a zubat ages, it does eventually develop sight."

"On rare occassion, zubat are forced to land and move on the ground. Obviously, this leaves them incredibly vulnerable to pradators, as their forelimbs are poorly adapted for land movement."

"Despite a zubat's lack of eyes, they are able to navigate by use of echo-location. By releasing high-pitched squeaks, a zubat can discern its surroundings. The sound waves bounce off obstacles, and zubats sensitive ears catch the returning soundwaves, forming an 'image' in the zubat's mind."

"Zubat's possess a venomous bite (an uncommon defense among mammals) that thins the blood of their prey. This makes it flow easier and therefore it is faster to consume."

"Zubat can usually be found, en masse, hanging from cave ceilings by their sharp rear claws. As social creatures nest, hunt, travel, and generally do everything in large groups."
