I don't wanna be a star because stars fall from the sky, and when they hit the ground they turn into a rock and a rock ain't no good unless you bust someone in the head with it.

At home haircut c/o James. About 2 minutes in, he said, ‘there’s a lot of blood in your hair.’ Still turned out great despite the unanticipated amount of blood!

Day 3 of #BatMas: the Pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus)🦇

This species is very unique because it eats scorpions - it's one of two species that are known to be immune to the venom! But they have a mixed diet and also eat centipedes, cicadas, beetles, lizards and mice.
