Sam Well I just really rolled my ankle badly so... |

Fish, And yes, absolutely rabies had a huge contribution to it since there is basically no survival to it. Bats had to find a way around it since it spread SO fast through their colonies. And they did! But that also means that we, as humans, have to respect bat species and give them their space. They've got enough going on without us contributing to their decline. |
Versailles |
Fish, That'd be the honduran white bat you mentioned! I don't think I have a favourite, I generally really enjoyed seeing them all. Maybe the Virginia big-eared bat? |

Versa That's interesting, never knew that bats vere immune to so many diseases. I wonder though if that's not also thanks to rabies. Since bats live in large colonies where spreading of the virus is very fast, they needed to evolve some level of immunity in order to not go extinct. In turn, that strenghtened immune system probably meant they had an easier time dealing with other pathogens. Now, once again not an expert but this is a fascinating subject. What is your favourite bat species? Mine are the little white ones that live on leaves, don't remember what they're called |
Versailles |
Fish, The species that have it the worst are black widows, and recluse. Should you treat the bites? Absolutely! But you should treat ALL animal bites regardless. The odds of someone actually dying to either of those species are minimal these days. You've gotta be VERY allergic. Not even to mention the high majority of spider bites being dry bites, including in the widow and recluse families. |

Bluey, Always happy to chat about what I've specialized in! <3 Sam, Look up Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado. I worked with a baby called Uno! She never got to see me directly but since my college professor was directly linked to that zoo, I got to meet them, study them, and learn lots. |
