Bats are cool
Bats are the only true flying mammals. There are over 1,400 species of bats, and they can be found on nearly every part of the planet. Not only are they cute, they are also important...
Studying how bats use echolocation has helped scientists develop navigational aids for the blind. Without bats’ pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control we wouldn’t have bananas, avocados, mangoes, agave, or cacao… that’s right, bats bring us tequila and chocolate!

A mod posting AI garbage. How quaint.
Can we not post AI here? It seems disingenuous
How can you tell it's ai?
How are you this dumb?
Bats don't have grabby little hands in addition to wings, the wing veins are from an insect, the curves in the ears don't happen in any animal, the bat doesn't cast a shadow on the hand, and the artifacts in the fur are tell-tale copy paste with added noise. That's just the second image, and only some of the problems.
But the bat has all its digits.
It has too many digits, the wings themselves are giant webbed hands.
AI garbage. Bats don’t have separate hands…
Was thinking it might be AI but could it possibly be sitting so its feet are up in front like that?
No because the feet are typically also part of the wing and have a flap of skin in between them too, and in many species the toes are pretty much the only part that sticks out from the wing skin
