Honduran White Bat
The bat that sleeps in a leaf tent
The bat that sleeps in a leaf tent
Years belowground, weeks in the spotlight
Small hoppers, huge impact
Two-footed seed bankers of the desert
Plant the forest-one flight at a time
Mask of the prairie-dog towns
Bright warning colors. Bitter consequences.
A splash of sky in open fields
Shaggy scavenger of the Kalahari
Scarlet skies, rainforest voice.
The swamp's silent shoe-billed hunter
Sky-blue sentinel of the open West
Palmate antlers, spotted summer style
The canid that climbs like a cat
One queen. Hundreds of helpers. No air? No problem.
Builders of the grassland underground
Flag the tail, vanish into the woods
Bright stripes, master basker.
Kangaroos that took to the trees
Nature's night-shift carrion recycler
Rattle of the Grasslands
Sculpted shell, stream-to-forest trekker
Big eyes. Bigger leaps.
Spines, stealth, and ants for dinner.
