Poor thing

Bat
Although I think it unfortunate that the little bat that clung to the external fuel tank during the space shuttle launch the other day most likely died as the shuttle ascended, you have to admire its tenacity--it looks like it held on for dear life for the entire ride.

Bat's fate after shuttle launch appears grim: Small bat spotted clinging to the back side of Discovery's external fuel tank
