If i was to guess, there a probably a ton of Bat species we do not know about, that are separated by such minute differences that to play the guessing game would be harrowing.

Holy shit

The second largest order of mammals after rodents, bats comprise about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide, with over 1,400 species

Also

So I guess the real question is what’s your favourite species of rodent (of the 2,276)?
