Tag your bestieeeEeEEEEeee. 👯‍♂️

While some bats drink on the wing (by lapping water with their tongues as they fly over a water source), others hydrate by wetting their bellies in a body of water, then licking it off. This is known as belly dipping -- and requires incredible precision to avoid getting water on their wings 💦
