During this time of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic, medical science is seeking a vaccine as well as drugs that will treat the symptoms. In the meantime, much has been reported on the ventilator, a lifesaving device that is used on the most serious cases.

Bats have been in the news lately,¹ but bats themselves are not new—they were created on Day 5 of Creation Week, along with other flying creatures.
