From this month’s Discover magazine:

“Bat Bipeds: Several species of bat are known to use their strong forelimbs and weak hind legs to crawl along the ground, but no one suspected they might be able to run. At least not until Cornell University biologist Daniel Riskin dropped a common vampire bat onto a tradmill, only to be stunned as it broke into a bounding run…”

Scientists are so crazy. How the hell did he get the idea to drop a bat onto a freakin’ treadmill? Honestly, that’s hilarious.
