Welcome to Litsy!

How do bats spend so much energy gripping with their feet while hibernating? They don't! The tendons of their feet have evolved to lock their toes in a grip, and they actually have to flex to release from their roost. This allowed their leg bones to evolve thin and light to eliminate some weight as they gained flight. Their legs now would not support their weight if they tried standing. #batweek
