It came to me last night that I am actually at five creative kobolds stacked in a Drizabone and I have the proofs. I am reptillian - operating best above 25C and bundled in three or more layers of wool at all other time (and frequently it's still cold). Next to introduce the crew via comment:

A Taiwanese golden bat with Youtiao - a fried dough stick known by many other names. This species and treat was requested by some lovely Taiwanese bat researchers I met at IBRC, at least one of whom has been a fatbatweek fan for several years ❤️

#fatbatfriday with three sweet scoops of microbats - aiming for that Neapolitan look with a Honduran white, Chocolate wattled, & Eastern red bat in a waffle cone (stacked by average max weights).
If you need the reminder: have a drink of water, have a snack, and take a long, slow & deep breath in.

Lucky to be able to see the Pleinary by Merlin Tuttle, an incredible photographer, bat photographer, and a founder of @batconservation.bsky.social. Look at www.merlintuttle.org for all manner of resources to know more about bats and how vital they are to our world. #ibrc2025

Privileged to be able to go on a #tolgabathospital trip and see the fruit bats and these magical microbats in person. Barbed wire is a main culprit for why these little lads arrive at the hospital. There are wildlife safe options out there - please look into them. #ibrc2025

#mermay be passed but I thought I'd share this fun sketch I did a few years ago. I have a Landsknecht garbed centaur around somewhere too. I was looking at the massive hats they wear and this jumped into my mind.
