There is an AMAZING episode of Ologies with Alie Ward about bats, she interviews Dr. Tuttle, a bat expert, about how cool these guys are! I love them!! 🦇

@softshelled

fantastic, thank you. enjoyed. Here’s my contribution: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey-headed_flying_fox we more commonly call them fruit bats where I live. I’d highly rec googling “Australian fruit bats” and looking at cute pics of ‘em! I’ve been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of some flying over my house at dusk a few times
