I do like bats.  But when I was looking for an avatar, this particular one just looked so endearing, peering out at the world over it's screen of wings, taking in everything with big eyes and saying nothing, that it reminded me of myself when I was young.  I'm much more outspoken these days, LOL!

My other avatar (I haven't used it on this site, yet) is an orange tabby cat reclining on the top of a computer monitor, it's paw batting at the mouse on the desk.  That's pretty much me, as well!
