Bats' Evolution Choice

A 'well-hung' bat

It's official, males with big testicles have smaller brains - at least in the case of bats.

Bats cannot be well-endowed in both areas, according to a discovery by scientists at Syracuse University in New York.

Their study shows a biological trade-off between brains and sperm, with the creatures 'opting' for one or the other.

It seems females are to blame for the evolution of the male species.

They are unusually promiscuous, so natural selection pressure has led to males evolving enormous testicles to tempt a mate.

The male bat is unable to sustain a large brain and high fertility levels.

Experts at the university say the genitals of some bats make up a whopping 8.5% of their body mass. That compares to a maximum of just 0.75% for most apes.

Researchers found the link between testicle and brain size after looking at 334 different bat species.

What about males that think with their dicks?

[Japher]

I think the real question is; are there males that don't think with their dicks?

No wonder (insert name of Polytubby here) thinks he knows everything - He has no nads!

Some of us are gifted in both departments.

Asher, we don't want to hear about your relationship with Aggie. Keep that stuff private.

and who really cares about the size of their nads?

Isn't penis size the most important to women?

[JohnT]

No.

Wallet size is what matters most.

[Japher]

so I've been told

I carry a purse. That's makes a big wallet. That's sure to attract a lot of female attention.
