I never thought an apple, carrot, and hemp seed fruit bar could be so good.

I'm picturing a dark saloon filled with bats ordering various fruits and playing pool.

They swoop in and use mini cue sticks with their feet, obviously. That whole "one foot on the floor" rule doesn't apply to bats.

Yeah, I feel like bats really had the 'cool shit I can use fingers for' game on lockdown for a while. Other mammals were just walking around on theirs or turning them into flippers. After humans and their whole 'making tools' shtick, bats definitely run a strong second place for creative use of fingers.

totally
i was wondering if bird arms count but not really. they kind of don't even need the fingers anymore. they don't amble around on their wings and they don't have claws or proper thumbs.

also here's a cool tidbit i got that helped me count birds out of the 'cool shit i can use fingers for' game
same forelimb ancestry!

Bat wings consist of flaps of skin stretched between the bones of the fingers and arm. Bird wings consist of feathers extending all along the arm. ... Birds and bats did not inherit wings from a common ancestor with wings, but they did inherit forelimbs from a common ancestor with forelimbs.

Apparently, the structure allows bats to quickly change the shape of their wing and allows for greater maneuverability in flight. I had to do a report on horseshoe bats for school a few years back, and I burned out on looking at bats for a while. I'm happy to report that I'm back into them now! Bats are pretty interesting.

oh interesting i guess that explains why their flight patterns always looked erratic and weird to me. like moths. i always thought it was because they were like fast and weird but i guess fast and maneuverable makes more sense
i thought they were clumsy fliers

They do look clumsy when they fly. Like a cat freaking the fuck out. I guess it must seem reasonable to them. I'd hate to think what their opinion of my typing would be: "Why do stare at that thing in front of you and then periodically bang on it in weird irregular spasms? Wait, that's how how you communicate?"
