As an animal lover I know that I am susceptible to fawning over those creatures who are cute while leaving the ugly ones to fend for themselves like the offspring of meth addicted parents, but luckily the animal I am writing about today is the Blossom bat from Australia who just so happens to be one of the cute ones, so all is safe in the world.
Unfortunately, because it's a bat and there's a great number of people who have an issue with what looks like a rat with wings sharing the same planet as us, they will proceed to kill them even though this particular animal feeds only on nectar and pollen (like a hummingbird) and not on the blood of the innocent.
To help educate you on the sweetness of most bats (and especially this one in particular) I could give you a bunch of dry facts about how the Blossom bat is especially rare and is "...very susceptible to the destruction of its natural habitat [Popular Science] which will make you feel bad in a very intellectual, albeit non-emotional, way, or I could show you a video of a Blossom bat that has been rehabilitated after an expected cat attack while some Sarah McLachlan-ish electro music plays in the background, pulling at your heartstrings until you are nothing more than a weeping shell of a human being.
Hmmm...which one will I pick?
