The World Wildlife Fund is currently running a fundraiser in which you “adopt” an animal. I think you receive a stuffed version and some other cutesy little stuff but that’s not what I’m blogging about.

So sure, everyone wants to adopt a koala. Their cuddle quotient is off the charts and they’re freakin’ adorable.
But really… who wants to adopt a bat?
.

.
And a blood sucking bat at that.
Another tough sell?

While I find devils rather sweet, prevailing wisdom says no.

.
Whale shark? Their mouths are four feet wide and they eat 50 lbs a day. That’s almost as much as a teenage boy.
Something tells me these guys are going to be at the orphanage for a very long time.

I saw a wildlife documentary about those devils and omg they are adorable! But maybe just leave them in the wild…😀

Carnivorous – i.e. in a pinch they would eat you.

Well, yes. But all pets have their quirks.

I adopted a bat. I raised him as if he were my own son and, just last year, he got his PhD from Cornell in Aerodynamic Engineering. I just worry that one day he’ll find out that I’m not his biological father…

I love bats, taz, and sharks.
I had a symbolic adoption of a black leopard at Shambala Preserve (SoCal) and even got to see it IRL. I picked it because it had the same name, and psycho personality, as one of my solid black cats.

Me……I would adopt a vampire bat or Tasmanian devil….but I bet you knew that 😈😝. The whale shark, I think so, but I’m not sure if Vampy and Tassy would get along with her…lol.

You got it. At the rate they travel you should have him by early 2034.

Well, they act half dead when they’re alive so it will be a good fit.
