I went to Costa Rica on a solo trip a few years ago and stayed near Corcovado national park. Took a rainforest walk and our guide pointed out these giant leaves that looked as if they had been perforated and folded on a very specific line. It was the work of these bats, which bite two diagonal cuts in the shape of a V, causing the sides to fold down and form a tent. And then they just chill in there, like a makeshift cave.

Saw the video of a bat swimming a little bit too perfectly and freaked out. Googled.

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
