ummm hello ABLV, Hendra and Nipah!!!
The image of this animal makes me want to cry.
Long howling cries.The giant golden-crowned flying fox (Acerodon jubatus), also known as the golden-capped fruit bat, is a rare megabat and one of the largest bats in the world.The species is endangered and is currently facing the possibility of extinction because of poaching and forest destruction. It is endemic to forests in the Philippines.
The giant golden-crowned flying fox is primarily nocturnal, and can travel at least 40 km (25 mi) in one night searching for food. This bat is a pollinator and seed disperser for many fruit trees in the Philippines. It uses water for grooming.
They eat primarily figs, though will take other fruit if figs are unavailable. They have been reported to eat cultivated fruit, but this is relatively rare. Other fruits that may be eaten include: puhutan, lamio, tangisang, bayawak, bankal and strangler figs. Known as “The Silent Planter”,they release seeds in their droppings, often while flying. This helps maintain the Philippine rainforest.
it says one of the largest bats. HOW BIG IS THE LARGEST ONE.

Dear Octopus,
That is not your house. That is a trash.
I am sorry we made all the trash.
I hope you get a real house one day. One that’s clean.

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN. This is Your Brain on Stress.
Want something else to worry about? Worry about worrying too much. The evidence is building that chronically elevated stress shrinks your brain!
A study in press at the journal Biological Psychiatry asked 103 people about how often they had experienced stressful events, both recently and over the course of their lifetimes, as well as about their chronic ongoing stress, and then took functional magnetic resonance images of their brain. The more stress, the smaller the brain…in several particular cortical areas.
.. As if we needed anything else against us while exam prepping -.-
SCUMBAG BRAIN! >:(
LIES. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE.
