Large flying fox at the Columbus Zoo

A large fruit bat's head in profile, upside down, with prominent ears
Well, this looks ominous.

A flying fox hangs by its feet with wings wrapped around.
Hanging around, as a bat does.
Three flying foxes are reflected in a mirror.
At least we know they aren't vampires. Also, these bats eat fruit. (Why is there a mirror? I don't know; it's not there all the time.)
A flying fox hangs with its translucent wings spread.
Here we can see the bat's body. It hangs by its back feet, and each hand has one finger with a hook at the end.
A flying fox licks while eating fruit.
What's not to love?
