There鈥檚 been a lot of misconception and mislabelled images around the internet in regards to kitti鈥檚 hog-nosed bat (Craseonycteris thonglongyai, also known as the bumblebee bat; the smallest mammal in the world) and I figured I鈥檇 help educate and hopefully fix the algorithm a little by providing some actual images of them for you all to enjoy. They are just the cutest 馃挄
Below the break is some nerdier stuff about identification if that鈥檚 what you鈥檙e into!

This little fellow is an infant vesper bat (Vespertillionidae). Vesper bats are the most widespread family in Chiroptera and likely the ones you see outside your window every night! The sparse fur on this little fella is a pretty good indicator of a baby bat (do note, however, that Chiroptera is a very diverse order and there are quite a few exceptions to this), and pairing that with its protruding nostrils as opposed to the flat nose of a Kitti鈥檚 gives it away. Here are some more images of baby vesper bats.

Very adorable and very tiny regardless!
Kitti鈥檚 hog-nosed bat is the sole species in the family Craseonycteridae. They鈥檙e found only in southeast Asia. Because of this, they鈥檙e pretty unique bats. Their most distinctive trait is definitely their hog noses (flat with forward-facing nostrils, no leaf!), giving their heads an almost rectangular appearance. Additionally, they do not have tails; just the membrane. Lastly, unlike the majority of vesper bats, their ears are pointy! This is something harder to see in some images 鈥榗ause bats love to wriggle and bend their ears but it鈥檚 something to consider.
Hope you found this post helpful! I absolutely love the attention this little dude gets. Many species of bats are endangered so we all appreciate the support. Stay batty /|\^. .^/|\

I need to hear the fandom's thoughts on this immediately. I have a new headcanon and it's gonna take a whole lot of words but listen the meme potential is great stick with me here
Okay so there's this henchman of Bill's named Kryptos and though he has literally one line of dialogue I think about him a lot, not just cause he has superb Funny Little Guy鈩笍 energy but for the obvious fact that he's also a weird 2D shape creature like Bill.
Tumblr media
In the novel Flatland (which portrays what Bill says is a "pretty good idea" of what his home dimension was like), shapes are divided into different social classes based on their number of sides. Four-sided shapes such as Kryptos hold esteemed jobs, mostly doctors and lawyers.
One of the things we know for sure about Kryptos is that he is a criminal of some sort, and I was thinking about what the hell this Soos of the Nightmare Realm -ass dude had done. At first I just kinda figured that he was complacent in Bill's transdimensional arson and that was good enough, but I thought of a way fuckin funnier idea:
Kryptos was a lawyer, probably even met Bill trying to get him out of trouble in their home dimension 'cause he was idk stealing candy from babies or whatever else Bill does, and miraculously managed to waive all the charges. Bill keeps Kryptos around currently because he's constantly breaking laws (local, planet-wide, physics...) and occasionally gets arrested by the Time Police or whatever in particularly sticky situations. Kryptos is loyal as a dog and always, ALWAYS finds some kind of underhanded, not-totally-legal loophole-through-a-loophole way to mediate things.
So, in other words, HE IS BILL'S SAUL GOODMAN
