Relatable.
Lazlo?
- BAT!
Now this is the kind of news I come online for in the mornings. Well done op.
- First it makes you laugh, then it makes you think
use their unusually long cervixes to hold onto the sperm of several different males for months before choosing which male they bear offspring with.
Doubt.
- Well I wasn’t expecting to look this up today. But it looks like there’s actually plenty of evidence for bats holding onto sperm for months. I’m not sure about them selectively choosing which sperm to use.

  And it’s not just bats. Apparently some turtles can hold onto sperm for years.
  
  Hmm, how would they even "choose"? Is it like, in different compartments?.. And wouldn't the material go bad after all that time?

BATMAN BIG BAT DICK BELT GO! "Batman, that's just a massive strapon..."
- “Damn you, Lucius!”
Ok, so a bat jail porn video was not something I was expecting this morning, but I'll just roll with it.

Imagine you’re a female bat and you hear some dude yell in a Mortal Kombat voice “Get over here!” And, suddenly, you’re grabbed by a dick.
- Toasty!
"member"
What century are we in again, old chap?
"a Dutch retiree recording bat sex in a church attic" is my new favourite sentence. And quite possibly a life goal.
- Can get your name on an academic paper
"Ladies..."
