Here we have fruit bats. They have a wingspan of about a metre (three feet).

They aren't actually related to the bat family, being closer to primates actually. So they're trying to stop people calling them fruit bats to avoid confusion.

They're calling them flying foxes... :roll:

Earth needs more:
• Flying foxes.
• Bats.
• Aspergeans.

can we also have more flying pigs so that everytime someone mentions a miracle or impossible promise is made when pigs fly, we can finally get our wish??

No, flying pigs would be too confusing. I mean, would they clean up before taking off? Or would they just bust out flapping whenever they got the urge or scared?
I wonder what the ramifications of Hell Freezing Over would be. :skull:

KimJ, aren't we all born with a death sentence?

Some of my best friends are Bats, guaranteed.

Bats are cool, but I've only ever seen one of them and that wasn't really up close.

A bat peed in my dad's eye one time (it was flying around our ceiling), and he had to get 10 rabies shots as a precaution. Not too much fun!

Next week when I'm working with my articulation client in therapy, we're going to make a spider and a bat for our craft activity (he's 6). I need to start decorating my apartment for Halloween as well.

That's pretty cool. I didn't know that.
