[dinodorks]

Pls post about fossil bats more (I know the info on them is limited but anything would be really cool)

Happy to! One prehistoric bat, Desmodus draculae, a giant vampire bat from Central and South America seems to have lived into the Holocene. The discovery of subfossils points to this, including a tooth attributed to the species that is dated to 1650 A.D..

Vampires are originated from latinoamerica, lets talk about that pls

So, as a poor, underrepresented latino, whenever i see anything that could give only a glimpse of me or my hispanic bros being represented somehow.... i go like PUTA QUE PARIU É A GENTE MANO, and thats probably relatable me and my friend, we are writing a book about.... vampire cowboys, starting with a prologue one that explains the whole ‘’science’’ behind the supernatural creatures, and while doing our research on those animals biology, we recalled a fact that is, the only 3 alive hematophague species that exist are all located here, in latinoamerica. In fact, they all can be found in Brazil, our country, and that means that, yea, our irl actual vampires are all from here. In our story, they are originated from a virus that was present on the ancient species Desmodus draculae that, of course, lived here.

i wanna see art of maian and contemporary latino vampires.

also our vampires chronologic life is:

1 - 100 ~ y’old:

epitome of beauty - new vampire, mostly the same as when human, except it starts developing hematophagy and they feel absurd joint pain due to the slow development of wings and joint modifications

150 - 300 ~ y’old:

skeletical, hairless and melaninless (and have wings + pointy huge ears) - rational, strategic, when starving becomes irrational and stinctive, also has aready developed cognitive funcions and habits of bats, and are partially blind

300 - eternity:

humanoid giant bats - actual predatory animal (these things try to fuck anything of its size and its scary), completely blind as it lives almost exactly as a bat, sometimes retaining very little of human consciouness

pls dont let this thread forgotten this is actual latino visibility put in game here

I love the new bats in Ark, they look so cool! But they also look so goofy up close. Look at my big girl! Also they got dope colour regions

Desmodus draculae (or better known as the Giant Vampire Bat) was a leaf-nosed bat that lived in Central South America at roughly 2.5 million years ago. This bat may have been the largest vampire bat to have ever existed reaching wingspans of possibly 50 cm (20 in) wide and weighing 60g. It has been speculated that the Giant Vampire Bat was the inspiration for the Mayan bat-god Camazotz and the Muran Caoera.
