    Bat

    Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera (/kˈrɒptərə/; from the Greek χείρ - cheir, "hand" and πτερόν - pteron, "wing") whose forelimbs form webbed wings, making them the only mammals naturally capable of true and sustained flight. By contrast, other mammals said to fly, such as flying squirrels, gliding possums, and colugos, can only glide for short distances. Bats do not flap their entire forelimbs, as birds do, but instead flap their spread-out digits, which are very long and covered with a thin membrane or patagium.

    Bats are the second largest order of mammals (after the rodents), representing about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide, with about 1,240 bat species divided into two suborders: the less specialized and largely fruit-eating megabats, or flying foxes, and the highly specialized and echolocating microbats. About 70% of bat species are insectivores. Most of the rest are frugivores, or fruit eaters. A few species, such as the fish-eating bat, feed from animals other than insects, with the vampire bats being hematophagous, or feeding on blood.

    Bats language

    Bats (also Batsi, Batsbi, Batsb, Batsaw, Tsova-Tush) is the language of the Bats people, a Caucasian minority group, and is part of the Nakh family of Caucasian languages. It had 2,500 to 3,000 speakers in 1975.

    There is only one dialect. It exists only as a spoken language, as the Bats people use Georgian as their written language. The language is not mutually intelligible with either Chechen or Ingush, the other two members of the Nakh family.

    History

    Until the middle of the 19th century, the Tsovians lived in Tushetia, the mountain region of Northeast Georgia. They were expected to have come settled with Tush people in mid centuries later became assimilated with other Tush people and now are known as one of four tush subgroups. The Tsova Gorge in Tushetia was inhabited by four Bats communities: the Sagirta, Otelta, Mozarta and Indurta. Later they settled on the Kakhetia Plain, in the village of Zemo-Alvani, where they still live. Administratively they are part of the Akhmeta district of Georgia.

    Bats

    by: Scary Bitches

    I met this bloke who looked like a ghost
    I’ve soon find out that he was not
    He was a genuine count from Transylvania
    He said: “Marry me. That’s where I’ll take you
    To a ruined castle on the top of a cliff
    Where the air’s so cold it will freeze your tits”
    And there he taught me how to fly
    Two lovers together in the purple sky
    And we had bats for dinner and bats for tea
    Bats for him and bats for me
    A big fat rat for Sunday roast
    For breakfast we had bats on toast
    And when the cooking became a chaw
    We just chopped them up and eat them raw
    Or opened the window facing south
    And let them fly straight in our mouths
    Bats for dinner, bats for tea
    Bats for dinner, bats for tea
    Bats for dinner, bats for tea
    Bats for tea
    Neighbours didn’t like us much
    They seemed to bear some sort of a grudge
    Attacked the castle with flaming torches,
    Burned the stables and stole the Porshes
    Then our local vicar, a miserable tart,
    Stabbed a wooden stake through my boyfriend’s heart
    I escaped, but I’m alone again
    In a one-room flat in Sydenham
    And there’s no bats for dinner, no bats for tea,
    No bats from the graves or the belfry
    It’s peas and cabbage or Sunday roast
    And if I’m lucky – beans on toast
    And when the cooking becomes a chaw
    I’ll just chop them up and eat them raw
    And think of how things used to be
    When there was just my count and me
    There’s no fairy-tale castles in the sky,
    But the room’s so cold it would make you cry
    And still sometimes at night I fly
    Over London’s dark grey sky
    And think of him in another world
    And hope he’s waiting for his girl
    And there united we will be
    Together forever for eternity
    And there’ll be bats for dinner and bats for tea
    Bats for him and bats for me
    A big fat rat for Sunday roast
    For breakfast we’ll have bats on toast
    And when the cooking becomes a chaw
    We’ll just chop them up and eat them raw
    Or open the window facing south
    And let them fly straight in our mouths
    Bats for dinner, bats for tea
    Bats for dinner, bats for tea
    Bats for dinner, bats for tea
