Chauve souris is the French for Bat – literally - “Bald Mouse”.
I’m not sure that’s exactly what I would liken a bat to. “Bald Mouse” wouldn’t sum it up for me. I’d go with something like “angry flying rat”.
Hmm; what’s French for “leather nightmare bullet” or “evolution dodger” or “biting umbrella”?
The Cigar Smoking bat
The Laughing bat
That Bat
