The Mexican Free-tailed Bat (Tadarida brasiliensis) lives a very long life compared to closely related animals such as mice.

I’m sorry, Mr. Scientist. I’m not smearing bat chit on any part of me to look more youthful. I’ve earned my stripes!

I want to know how they can possibly live longer without government sponsored health care.

I love bats. The bat colony under that bridge in Down Town Austin Texas has to be seen (and smelled) to be believed!

How do they figure mice and bats are related? Mice are herbivorious rodents and bats are carnivores.

Just what we need, a therapy that makes Rats live longer. I guess if this team words fast, we can see Senator Byrd celebrate his 100th year in the Senate!

the July 2009 print issue of The FASEB Journal, shows that proper protein folding over time in long-lived bats explains why they live significantly longer than other mammals of comparable size

I guess this explains why Batman has gotten old after all these years. Or why Robin’s still a teenager.

How do they figure mice and bats are related? They didn't. They said "of comparable size."
Although they are related. They're both mammals.

Let’s not speculate about their home life though... ;’)
