This fuzzy little guy is a microbat from Ivory Coast, and there's a lot to like here: Wikipedia describes it as having markings like a bee (cute), but it looks a lot like an inverse Holstein cow (also cute).

@erinbee oh my god look at him
@erinbee omg
@erinbee i didn't know about microbats, now I'm wondering what other miniature animals I have missed
@erinbee are we absolutely sure this isn't a pokemon?
@erinbee just a little guy!
@erinbee poor bat buddy 😭 all the stress of being small and broke
@erinbee just seeing the thumbnail images, I thought it was a stuffed animal!!!
That is too cute to be real omg I love them
@bouncinglime They're so fuzzy!
@bouncinglime @erinbee it’s called a Pied Bat apparently 😍😍😍
@erinbee a bee king, at last!
@erinbee yes, a holstein cow! Gosh how cute
Forgot to mention that it's a Pied Butterfly Bat, also sometimes known as the Superb Butterfly Bat or Badger Bat. Since badgers are nocturnal too, that's a fun association.
And it's a member of the family Vespertilionidae, which in itself is a lovely name for nocturnal animals.
