Aujourd'hui je vous présente la Barbastelle d'Europe !
Une petite chauve-souris au physique plutôt atypique avec des oreilles très larges "attachés" au sommet du crâne, un pelage très sombre, assez long.
La Barbastelle est une espèce plutôt forestière, elle aime particulièrement les écorces décollées des arbres pour s'y cacher

Apparently bats hunt moths using sonar, but moths have evolved sonar-jamming techniques that make them invisible to bats, but bats have evolved counter-jamming techniques to make moths visible, and all of this sonar war happened long long before humans stumbled upon these same techniques for radar:

"The jamming of bat sonar by certain tiger moth species has been confirmed. This can be seen as nature's equivalent of radar jamming. Similar to human ECCM techniques, bats are found to change their emission lengths to defeat jamming."

Hoi, I'm Domo!

You can follow (or filter) specific tags to get (or not get) specific content from me:

- #domo_art is where I post my artwork (sometimes with CW nsfw)

- #BG3 is where I post about Baldur's Gate 3.

- #tamagotchi is where I post about digital pets/digital idle toys when I am running them. I mostly use this when new color screen Tamagotchis release.

- #trans is where I post about trans stuff sometimes

- #bats are where I post about cute bats

- #vegan is where I post both food pics and general vegan musings

Outside of that stuff I also love trains/trams, queer comic books, and cartoons (Steven Universe, Infinity Train, Dead End Paranormal Park, Craig of the Creek, and more).

I'm also an anarchist that posts about US/NL/EU politics, with CW (uspol, nlpol, eupol).

I also hate cars and nuclear energy, just to weed out some other people. Wind, solar, geothermal, and hydro-electric energy are fine replacements for fossil fuels, however we still need to talk about the mining industry and the slavery that it uses/encourages.

Love trains and believe they, as well as healthcare and housing should be free.

If I ever miss a CW you need or forget alt text, you are absolutely welcome to call me out privately or publicly - even if it's a boost - and I'll be sure to add whatever you need

(I update this post periodically)

1/2 Yeah, the magical moment when the new episode of #NatureMatchCuts is online!
https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/naturematchcuts/episodes/When-Gardeners-Run-Wild-II-e2f7uvg (You can listen with every podcatcher and on every platform).
I proudly present my interview with Anoura, the bat and Epostoa, the cactus, and a lot of seawater and pollinators. Sorry, that I even sing like Kermit!

Well, you decided in a poll whom I will interview in my next #podcast episode of #NatureMatchCuts. It's a real challenge: a #cactus talking to #bats! Your wish is my command: https://mastodon.online/@NatureMC/111482250826289526

I know the episode about #animal #gardeners was scheduled for the end of Nov. This year is a disaster. I'm working on it, but with the loss of Bilbo, I need some time for me. Thank you for your patience! Meanwhile, you can listen to older episodes https://naturematchcuts.net #naturelovers I'll be back!

It is spring here, and already there's 50 fires in the state of New South Wales. I'm hoping today's fire weather does not send the Willi Willi fire on a run. The region is in drought, everything is so dry.

After 1 week, there's a 150 km fire front to defend. Sadly, a life, houses and sheds have been lost, national park burnt through, maternity bat sites burnt over.

Close to the fire symbol on the map is one of the Kempsey Speleological Society long-term cave monitoring sites (and lots of bats).

DYK that #bats are essential to #rainforests? They pollinate plant and control #insects. Thomas's Big-eared Bats are critically #endangered in #PapuaNewGuinea due to #palmoil #deforestation.

I'm seeing so much lovely work on #PortfolioDay! Keep em coming!

Introduction post! Absolutely loving Mastodon so far. I’m quirky, silly, profound, curious, a big sap. #Introduction #Blind #DeafBlind #bats #echolocation #FolkMusic #scienceFiction #bisexual #mindfulness #NewThought #Spirituality #curling #hockey

Successful online MSc defence by Cornelia Röß @Mol_Ecol @uniinnsbruck on the role of #PersistentOrganicPollutants and #HeavyMetals in local #extinctions of the #LesserHorseshoeBat

Congrats to you, MSc Conny, and thanks to examiners @julesibk and Ute Rothbächer!

Hi, all. I'm Teresa, and I'm having fun meeting this friendly mastodon creature. I still have ... ahem ... that other account, but I put it on protected for the time being in case it goes pear-shaped. Odds are I will keep this one, too, as it's straightforward and friendly and nice. Thank you and have fun. #introduction #FolkMusic #ScienceFiction #StarTrek #Bats #Blind #DeafBlind #bisexual
