Fruit Bats - They're Gorgeously Weird!

This was taken at the Oakland zoo. I have a penchant for bats.
I think they are so interesting and cute. I have helped out a bit with bat rehab.
A wonderfully dedicated woman, Lisa Windflower, helps bats in my home, the SF bay area. Visit her at: http://www.batcrew.com/

These Flying Fox shots are amazing though: http://www.bellingen.com/flyingfoxes/
And the photographer, Vivien, is warm and open and lovely to communicate with.

They eat mosquitos and pollinate the agave plant. What's not to love???
