Bats

It is Halloween and I thought this would be appropriate. There are two species of bat at the Zoo:

And

Egyptian Fruit Bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus)

They are one of my favorite animals at the zoo. Of all the animals, the bats are always visible and they are always active. They also almost always have food. It is fun to watch them climb around with those wings.
