These are mammals with powered flight, a group of species with a diverse array of senses (sonar!) and lifestyles, that dart around the Sonoran desert where I live, eating flying insects and pollinating native plants. Okay, so they’re also vast reservoirs of coronaviruses, but even that is wildly interesting.
