The Bat 6 game was everything, the most important event for 6th-grade girls, and this was the 50th game. In 1899 — 49 years before — the women of Barlowe Road and Bear Creek Ridge, at the end of the Oregon Trail, decided the rivalry between their towns had gone on long enough. They planned a ladies softball game and picnic, and the men from both towns showed up and made friends. Over the years, the games continued, and eventually, it became traditional for the 6th-grade girls’ teams to play against each other. It was the only game they played, and they could only be on the team for one year. For the nine girls on each of the teams, it was the most important year of their lives.
to the muskox (Ovibos moschatus). Around the beginning of September, Arctic vampire lizards will climb up the legs of muskoxen grazing on the last vegetation of the summer. Using its long toes to climb, the Arctic vampire lizard will navigate through the fur of its muskox. Like some snakes, the vampire lizard has a pit organ located beneath the nostrils with which the lizard can detect infrared radiation (Gracheva et al. 2010). The Arctic vampire lizard uses the heat sensing organ to locate where blood vessels lie close to the skin on the muskox. After locating a site, the Arctic vampire lizard will use its razor sharp teeth to first shave the area of hair, then to

Do you like, or do you dislike bats like they are a cold? If you don’t, well you’ll dislike this paragraph because this one is all about the Northern long eared bat in North Dakota. The Northern long-eared bat has been on the endangered list since November 30, 1979, and frankly they aren’t bad for being bats. There are people trying to save this animal, like environmentalists, and there’s people who dislike these bats, like farmers and ranchers. The thing is, farmers and ranchers are the people who put them on the endangered list in the first place and they don’t realize it, but they are hunting them to try and save their families and animals from this bat. They also put themselves on the endangered list because
There is a debate between scientists whether vampire bats should be killed or not. Firstly, ranchers, believe that vampire bats should be killed. For example, Chris Kraul a writer for the Los Angeles Times, shares that bats are feasting and killing off the cattle. Thus, this point proves that bats should be killed(Kraul). Secondly, Researchers believe that bats should be saved. For instance, Kraul reports that the theory for all of the attacks on the livestock are cause by timber cutting so the bats are losing food rich forests so they head toward the cattle for food. Therefore, this confirms that it is our fault for the bats attacking the livestock. Thirdly, I believe that bats should not be killed. To illustrate, Kraul tells bat based research
Draculin is a protein found in the saliva of vampire bats. Vampire bats drink blood to sustain themselves. The vampire bats contrary to popular beliefs do not suck the blood from their prey. They let the prey to bleed and lap up the gushing blood.

At thirteen, I became what most all Jewish girls become at that age: A Bat Mitzvah. The highway to adulthood in the Jewish culture. It's no different than any other cultural event. Preparing for a Bat or Bar Mitzvah is the worst thing ever, spending hours and hours everyday learning my Torah portion, writing my speech, and learning more about the Jewish civilization.
Now these creatures are naturally Dark, though many of them choose not to be malicious. Some choose simply to go into isolation and live their lives away from society. However, one thing that is certain about the Vampire is their need for blood. A vampire cannot survive without blood. Most often, lore says that vampires get their blood by drinking it from humans. They simply come up, give the victim a nice, solid bite on the neck, and drain the blood from their system. This, in turn, would also turn the victim into a vampire.
I can distinctly remember myself as a young child walking outside at dusk and looking up into the sky seeing a recurring black cloud floating above, swooping and diving like a synchronized ballet above me. Now, sixteen or so odd years later when I visit my parents country home in North Georgia, I no longer see the performance dancing above me. This is a sad reminder of a much bigger issue. The issue I am referring to is the huge decline in the eastern bat population due to WNS or White Nose Syndrome.
The Need for Blood Imagine standing in a courtyard looking upon a ruined castle with tall black windows that reflect and emit no light, and broken battlements that create a jagged line against the slate grey sky. Add to that immense great doors of such a castle, old and studded with large iron nails, and set in a projecting doorway of shadows (Stoker 16-17). Interestingly enough, Bram Stoker, an Irish novelist and short story writer, produced this scene while investigating his most famous novel, Dracula. While conducting thorough research at the age of fifty to find a role model/antagonist for the person of his nightmares, he came across an historic one in Romania, and in addition, stumbled upon the setting of Transylvania which later
Vampires in the past are known as an undead and a scary monster. They are called scary monster for a number of reasons. Vampires are depicted as human corpses that revive their lives from the graves, harm living people, and seduce women. They are bloodthirsty, animated monsters that created in the folklore. According to the article “Vampire Gentlemen and Zombie Beasts” Angela Tenga and Elizabeth Zimmerman demonstrate that, “Today’s vampire is ‘a lonely immortal longing for love, family, and approval” (76). To be more specific, this monster was first created as vampire with the horror look that comes back from death, he harms human by biting and draining blood. Vampires often target lust in women's sexuality. He represents fears and desires that humans are so hesitating to approach but also attracting to vampires. Over time, vampires have evolved differently and tremendously from the day that they were born till today.

They come in the night, flying from their graves in the form of bats. If not stopped, they will nefariously kill the members of their own families, and then go on to take the lives of others. They are vampires –corpses that rise from their coffins in the middle of the night, seeking out living victims whose blood they drink to sustain their unnatural existence. The most famous of all vampires is Count Dracula, a fictional character made famous in books and movies. Dracula is portrayed as a tall,
The crowd loves a batter who can hit sixes. If you want to hit the ball as fast and far as possible, should you use a light or heavy bat? That's an age old question with plenty of answers, but which is the correct answer? Light bats can be swung faster than heavy bats, but only about 10% faster (for the usual range of bat weights). Imagine hypothetically that the bat weighs 10 grams - light as a feather. If you swing it as fast as possible, you might get the tip to travel at say 160 km/hr. Now double the weight to 20 gm. This time the tip travels at about 159 km/hr. The problem here is that your arms weigh about 8 kg all up, so the extra 0.01 kg is hardly noticeable. Most of the effort needed to swing a bat goes into swinging the arms. That's
