have so much in common Where do we even begin
- 01:03
Well they're both incredibly handsome They both have lovely habits
- 01:07
and they're both big maroon five fans You know that
- 01:10
But we should probably see what the passages have to
- 01:13
say about these teo brothers from another mother there's a
- 01:16
mention in the first passage of vampire bats See competing
- 01:20
for food right here and immediately afterward there's something about
- 01:24
them be sharing regurgitated blood in times of need Yum
- 01:29
What a lovely thoughtful gesture we've got to serve that
- 01:32
in our next party Unfortunately there's nothing in the second
- 01:35
passage that mirrors either of those behaviors So it looks
- 01:38
like the bats are alone when it comes to their
- 01:40
unusual predatory and dietary behaviors right off the bat we
- 01:44
can eliminate being c and we're left with just two
- 01:47
options What about deep They protect their shared resource is
- 01:51
from other species Swell wolves apparently do that So says
- 01:55
passage to but bats and rats may go about things
- 01:58
differently because there is no talk of them Protecting resource
- 02:02
is from sea scavengers like dnc It appears di isn't
- 02:05
quite up To snuff hopefully then a will work out
- 02:09
Do both passengers make mention of both bats and rats
- 02:11
helping individuals with whom they share clothes Kinship Sure do
- 02:16
if anything that's the unifying theme of these two passages
- 02:19
If your friend i'll gladly give you the shirt off
- 02:22
their back or the blood out of their throat guts
- 02:26
