It is not unreasonable to think of bats as flying mice.
- unwind 2y agoIn Swedish that is almost exactly what they are called, bat translates to "fladdermus" which is "fladder" (flutter) and "mus" (mouse).
- dllu 2y agoSame in German, die Fledermaus. In fact, in English, the word "flittermouse" also means bat [1], although that word is rarely used now. [1] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/flittermouse https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/flittermouse
