Hello, I am a mammalian predator known as the Papillose woolly bat.

Don't forget the mammalian ~~predator~~ fruit predator the wrinkle faced bat, a creature so ugly its face has a foreskin.

Edit: oops. They're frugivores!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I thought they were exclusive fruit eaters.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ohhhh shit, you're right! They're... Uh... Fruit predators, stalking the wild papaya.

This is a glorious save. Well done.

Haha, I did what I could. Thanks!

fruit bats exclusively eat fruits, the "microbats" are the ones that hunt.

They’re super small, so either behind the ears or obscured by the fur.

Here’s a picture of one from a different angle. You can see how small the eyes are.

Damn, thay're so ugly that they're cute

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

They might be covered by the ear? I'm not sure, they definitely have eyes — but they are very small.

How do we know OP isn't a lizard person trying to throw us off their scent?

What I love so much about this episode is that I'm 99% sure the actor in the suit can't see a damn thing. He's just bumbling around in the desert heat, trying to hit his marks, while straining to hear Shatner and the director through all the sweat and foam rubber.

Seriously, lol. Whenever you hear interviews by actors talking about their heavily costumed roles, they talk about it like it's war trauma. I bet this dude was having a bad day.

Also, I always laugh when I see costumes that can't bend at the neck and have to turn like this. Reminds me of Batman.

They are actually a lizard person who is also a furry

Could’ve been cute tho

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Hmm I dunno, take a look at any bird-of-paradise or male peacock and tell me that the dinosaur's descents aren't beautiful.

The reality is we have a very loose idea of what dinosaurs really looked like, because what remains of them is so many millions of years old that it's decayed completely, or if we're exceptionally lucky - been fossilized. Feathers, skin, colours, fluorescences, bio-luminescence - 99.9999% lost to time, and could have been very beautiful.
