  • The startle response is such a cool evolutionary trait, many animals such as mantis's, moths, cray fish, cockroaches, possums, jays and even some snakes use. Each startle response is different but it is a reflex response to avoid predation or avoid eating a dangerous prey.

  • that sucks, I'd rather there be less bugs. That's bad for bats.

  • FUCK YOUTUBE ADVERTISEMENTS!!! Sell outs.

  • Can hear bats if I listen carefully, but just barely and only when there isn't a lot of ambient noise.

  • Dip game
