It is asleep





This is called a sleepy pipistrelle (Pipistrellus nanulus).

Also known as the tiny pipistrelle and nanula bat (but those names are boring, also when I wrote "nanula" it autocorrect to annual so it said annual bat and I was like NOOOO), sleepy pipistrelles come from Uganda, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Senegal, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea, Gabon, Liberia, Kenya, and Benin.

They are often found in moist forests or savannas. They use echolocation to find prey such as moths and mosquitoes. Like all bats.

You know it's actually kind of average I just like the name
