1790 Bats Blood Sucking Supposed Varieties Vespertilio Ternate Vampyrus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mysterious Ternate Bat, also known as Vespertilio vampyrus, a species of South American bat that has long been associated with the folklore of blood-sucking creatures. Dating back to 1790, this historical image provides a glimpse into the varied varieties of bats found in this region and their supposed penchant for feeding on blood. The intricate details captured in this photograph by Mary Evans Picture Library showcase the unique features of the Ternate Bat, from its distinctive wingspan to its sharp fangs. The dark and moody atmosphere adds to the aura of mystery surrounding these nocturnal creatures. Intriguingly, the Ternate Bat is just one example of the diverse wildlife that inhabits South America's rich ecosystems. Its presence in history books and legends only adds to its allure as a symbol of both fear and fascination. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our planet's biodiversity and respecting all forms of life, no matter how misunderstood they may be. The Ternate Bat serves as a reminder that even creatures deemed "scary" or "dangerous" have an important role to play in our world.
