Seems very Halloween appropriate. That last photo of the bat is awesome. What type of bat is that? I'd like to look it up to have some perspective on size. It seems huge from the photo.

He's a flying fox, from the Columbus Zoo.

TIL that nearly 1/4 of the worlds mammals are bats. The video says that their wing-span can be up to 6-feet! That's huge. I can't imagine walking around outside and seeing thousands of bats of that size fill the sky.
