I just wanted to take a minute of your time to introduce you to a few of your neighbors. It’s easy to forget that we’re not the only creatures on the planet, and while I don’t mean to preach, I hope you can realise that when news articles talk of the 50,000 species that die off every year, they’re often talking about creatures such as these. Some of these beautiful, unique beings get killed each year in the millions as a result of human activity - Wiped from existence before anyone even knew they existed. I look into their eyes and I see a friend. I see a brother I’ve forgotten. I see a family member that would at least hesitate before they sucked out my eyeballs from their sockets like oysters from the shell… In some cases anyway. But I still love them equally.

Some of these are threatened, others are not yet in any danger. Let’s get to know our own neighborhood before our own petty problems destroy them…

The Madagascar Sucker-footed Bat, was discovered in January 2007 and he’s already threatened due to human activity. I like him best.
