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.
fun fact, bats are members of the Sctrotifera clade, along with some other mammals that have scrotums. Interestingly, primates are not members of this clade.

OP: Mind adding a spoiler with the answer, for those clueless like me?

Or the scientific names are really large

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

Not OP but I read somewhere that 20% of mammal species are bats. So you're probably right.

Clearly referencing the fact that bats are bugs, and so it's a trick question since we're supposed to be thinking of animals

I know this is true by most definitions but to me it never felt true. Insects are distinct from animals in my head.

Wait bats have scrotums??

Wait, does that mean that we evolved our scrotums independently from other mammals..?

I think that's exactly what that means. I'm not a biologist though.

Almost as bad as beetles
