    Shout-out to bats, who are apparently super good at recovering smoothly from impacts with other bats.

    They don’t just hit each other. A few years ago, I was riding my bike (as in bicycle, not motorbike). A bat hit me head-on. Right on the, err, gentleman’s sausage.

    I’m still waiting for super powers to appear.

      If you were hoping for Batman super powers, I regret to inform you that he doesn’t have any. However, if your billionaire parents were killed in front of you as a child, you may be in luck.

    Ha. Same with starlings. Known for the great synchronised murmuration patterns. I’ve seen them collide. It’s not a big issue though, because they don’t crash down to ground. They’ve got wings and just fly back up into the … murmur.
