Well, you’ve got me there.
Correcting tests can be as bad as digging through bat shirt.
Usually doesn’t smell as bad, though.

There was a spike in plant sterols in the bats’ diet around a thousand years ago, the researchers found – corresponding with the Medieval Warm Period (900-1,300 CE), when it’s thought the Americas were particularly dry.
Another plant sterol spike was found from around 1,350 BCE, at a time known as the Minoan Warm Period. Drier conditions typically make life more difficult for insects, and during these times the bats were snacking more often on fruits.

These two periods of drying climate change correspond with the collapse of the Mayans and the Bronze Age Collapse.

Wait, wait. What could have caused Medieval Warm Period and the Minoan Warm Period when no factories or cars were around?
Darn clever these Medieval and Minoan people to do this without Al Gore around.

Yup, four of 'em, hence the expression, four sooth.

The ammonia will choke you, like chicken manure. Doubtful, this old stuff has any of that left, but you never know what’s buried in the layers.

So they “learned” what most intelligent people have known for a long time now. That is has been warmer and colder than now and that animals adapt or die.
Big friggin’ woop.

Hi.
Somebody said that certain bat guano is a delicacy.
Probably the Mexicans or the French.
