That's right! It's International Bat Appreciation Day! We share our planet with over 1400 species of bat, making the second most abundant mammal order, and they perform a wide variety of ecological roles, from dispersing seeds to pollinating flowers to eating thousands of insects in a single night! Over 200 bat species are listed as Threatened by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature--that is over 14 percent of all bats!
YOU can help endangered bats today by donating to Pennsylvania Bat Rescue at this link. This PA-based organization rehabilitates sick or injured bats and helps educate people like you and me in how we can create more bat-friendly environments.
If you want to learn about particularly-cool bat species native to New Zealand, check out this Consider Nature article on the Pekapeka, the bat that walks:
For the rest of the day, Consider Nature will be bat-bombing Tumblr with some of our favorite bat species to share them with the world!

Studies of some orphaned badger cubs I met last month, in the safe hands of a fantastic wildlife rehabilitator.

An emperor, and a friend. But they just don't know.

Found these in my garden and was curious what they are?
I'd say they're "gardenious frogos"
The first is a Pseudacris chorus frog, and the second is an Acris cricket frog. I cannot get any further with an identification without a locality, and even with a locality, some species co-occur, so it can be difficult without having the frogs in my own hands.
