heres a liitle bit of obscure trivia.
Bats were almost used by the US as weapons to win WW2 (against the Japanese). The only reason they were not deployed is because the atomic bomb(manhatan project) was completed in time. Any wild guesses as to how they were going to be used. It would have worked too,but would have taken much longer to end the war. If it werent true, u would think you were reading something straight out of science fiction. Fascinating stuff.
