Poor maligned bats.
Bats can climb easily and vampire bats can run in a way that
has been described as "fast pushups".
I think I will go out to my patch of lupins where there is a
major "bee" movie happening and discover that bumblebees can
work their way out of a tumbler.
I guess the buzzards are stuck in a prison of another's making.
Just as the many who are looking for the answers from "above".

To live in this world
You must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it against your bones
knowing your own life depends upon it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.
