00:59

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

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

stuff They're a couple of b f f's if we 00:02:29.425 --> [endTime] ever saw
