Ears'd Up
Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
My, what big ears you have! Spotted bats have the largest ears of any North American bat, reaching up to 4 cm (1.5 in) long-- nearly a third of their total body length! This helps them to hear their echolocation calls, which are some of the lowest pitched of any bat. Most calls fall within 9–12 kHz, well within the range of human hearing.

Gifted Crittersona - Berry Bite
On a whim I made a crittersona for a fellow fan on discord. She is really into bats! This character's name might not be permanent as she has the right to make changes. But Berry Bite is the name I gave her. She is a Spotted Bat.
All ears! This bat is a licensed psychologist. [X]

When designing new species (alien creature, dragon etc.) and deciding on its skin/fur pattern - it's good to have some inspiration from real world. Apart from very beautiful and miscellenious patterns of colourful birds (obviously) as well as poisonous frogs - it's good to also attention to some lesser known mammals, like:
Striped seal (Ribbon Seal) [x]
Striped mouse [x], [x]
Sumatran Striped Rabbit [x], [x]
Striped bat [x], [x]
Spotted marsupial (Spotted Cuscus) [x], [x], [x]
I also love spotted fur in piebald squirrels or piebald birds but since piebaldism is possible in many different species I shouldn't count it as typically "spotted" or "striped" animals😅 But they can look very inspirational nevertheless❤️
drew my fursona for bat day a little bit ago :)
(he is a spotted bat bc they look like furbies to me)
