A missed opportunity to name it `rat`.

Flying rat > Earthbound rat

Besides, this way I can type 'man bat' and scowl.

Totally off-topic, but: flying rats are so cute. I didn't realize that until we started getting some that would hang in the alcove, above our door, in the summer occasionally. They aren't really a threat either. As long as you don't go out of your way to bug them, they just sleep cozily. The button noses are great.
