I was surprised to find out just what vicious brutes they were.

Wait a minute... What's the story with the friggen' bird?

Let's see: Great Tit, Max Plank, Bukk Mountains, I was certain it was from The Onion - until I got to the Pipistrelle Bat, which has no sexual connotation. Or does it?

Oh, I get it! It's all in the pronunciation: the Pee-pee-strelle bat.

Checking the source article, it only gets worse.

...They also discovered bat carcasses with peck marks.

The scientists, Péter Estók, Sándor Zsebők, and Björn M. Siemers, said the birds flew close to the cave walls, often disappearing into crevices to look for bats. When the hibernating bats are disturbed, they squeak in a range audible to the Great Tits, and the researchers thought the birds may have learned to listen out for the squeaks. To test the hypothesis, they recorded bat squeaks. When played back, the birds were interested 80% of the time.

Pipistrelle bats have tiny bodies, being around one-quarter the size of the Great Tit. The birds were able to capture them on the cave floor or on the rocks, and either ate the bats where they found them or carried them out of the cave to devour them in trees near the entrance.

(Is it possible for a grown man to suddenly turn 14? Apparently, the answer is "yes".)
