Another cool fact (true for other bats as well): pallid bats typically copulate in the fall, and the females then store the sperm until spring or summer before going into estrus and becoming pregnant.

Indeed. Would be the equivalent of me eating a full-grown python. Yum!

I don't think France has an official bat and I am envious.
