And one not mentioned, about vampire bats - apparently they're one of the only animals that will take care of each other (when they're not directly related). Apparently a vampire bat, if it's been unlucky looking for blood, can 'ask' other bats in the same cluster and they'll regurgitate some. And it works both ways - a bat that refuses won't get helped later. So there you are - socially aware vampire bats. ;) cr ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
