Today's draw from the Strange Animals #AdventCalendar: vampire bats, and vulture bees. The latter I did NOT know about. Wow. Fascinating. 😄

#nature #animals #cards #OracleCards
Colorful drawing of two vampire bats hanging upside down. Writing on the card says "vampire bat: choose your friends wisely"
Colorful drawing of a vulture bee in flight. Writing on the card says "vulture bee: recognize similarities and cultivate empathy."
Help I'm way down the rabbit hole reading about vulture bees...
For a book? I know how that is, you can stop for now if you want to!
nah, just because the card made me curious :D
When you say "Help", it's not that you want us to stop you, it's that you want to know you have an audience to share your new knowledge with, right? 😄
please share the knowledge!
They sound like the type of insect I would make a podcast episode about : 👀
so far I have learned they eat meat from dead animals by entering their skull through the eye socket. And then they create protein rich jelly from it. (Not honey.) :D
oh yep I remember reading about them! I didn't remember that was their vernacular name but that tracks.
I bet they have some reeeaaallyyy cool microbiomes to go with that food habit...
I would totally listen to a podcast episode about them.
