** Doctor O has two bats as henchmen. When they attack Secret Squirrel in the dark with [[VisualPun pink inflatable baseball bats]], they let out high-pitched giggles and they follow the echo of their giggles to fly right at Secret, very much like how real bats use the echoes of their vocal sounds to locate prey in the dark.
