Call me weird, but I love bats. They’re a cool critter (hello, flying mammal with ecolocation), and I think they are sooooooooooo cute (some species are, at least). Cuteness on wings - for what more could I ask?

From The Leonard Lopate Show on WNYC:
Researchers have unearthed a 52-million-year-old fossil of a primitive bat that proves that bats developed the ability to fly before echolocation. Dr. Nancy Simmons of the American Museum of Natural History explains why scientists are so excited about this discovery.
