The vampire bat, the only mammal that survives entirely on blood, possesses a saliva protein that prevents blood clotting and is currently being tested in human stroke trials; these bats demonstrate sophisticated social intelligence by recognizing individual breathing patterns, returning to the same hosts repeatedly, and maintaining reciprocal relationships where they remember who helped them and share blood meals with those who have previously assisted them.

This Bat Survives Entirely on Blood and Remembers Every Favor #shorts #wildlife #vampirebatAdded:
Every mammal on Earth eats food. This one doesn't. The vampire bat survives entirely on blood, and it has a protein in its saliva that stops blood from clotting. That same compound is currently in human medical trials for stroke patients. It finds you by listening to you breathe, recognizes your pattern specifically, comes [music] back to the same animal night after night without fail. And if it comes home hungry, another bat throws up its own blood meal to feed it. They remember who helped them. They remember who didn't.
Most humans can't manage that. Which animal would you least expect to have close friendships?
