Surfbat (DinosaursRoar's Version)

Surfbats are flightless seimi-aquatic sea lion-like noctilionoid bats that are native to the Galapagos Island's shorelines.

Description
Surfbats are large sized bats that are about the size of a sub-adult Australian sea lion. Their bodies are long and streamlined which are covered with smooth fur to reduce the drag while swimming. Their wings, legs, and tail flaps have been turned into a sort of swimming organs to help them steer while swimming. They need eyes to see, unlike most bats, as they have completely lost ecolocation due to being a diurnal bat instead of nocturnal, so there's no need for large ears, but they shrank also because of the surfbats being mostly aquatic and coming on land only to rest and/or breed. They lack the large noses of most other microbat-grouped bats. Their snouts are long and filled with sharp teeth to hunt the fish they prefer to prey on.

Distribution
The surfbats are found everywhere across the Galapagos Island's shorelines in all of the main islands.

Behavior
They are very social bats that live in large colonies. They are very tame towards any sapient species and beings although remain wary in case if they do attack any of the surfbats. Despite living alongside Galapagos sea lions, surfbats don't face competition from them as they prey on schooling fish species that Galapagps sea lions don't prey or feed on, so the two species get along together and usually live together in massive colonies across Galapagos Islands.

Conservation Status
Surfbats have been listed as least concern as they aren't facing any known threats from invasive species nor human encroachment by human overpopulations as surfbats easily adapts well into man-made docks and other similar areas, and they also tolerate pollution and acidic oceans very well, so their population is increasing due to having less predators and their prey also adapting well to pollution and acidic oceans.
