Very interesting.

 

That is a big bat.

I had no idea there were bats that could get that big. I wonder why it was killed? I guess it was fear but it goes to show that a little knowledge goes a long way, I'm glad I learned about this. Thanks for sharing!

Is that real? That scares the bejeezus out of me. No more nights on the water for this guy.

Because it was a giant F%#%ing bat..

Hence the second sentence 

That was a perspective picture. I.e., the perspective of the bat in the picture makes it look larger than it is in reality. It is more in the foreground than middle of the picture.

 

Like when you hold a bass far out in front of you, it looks bigger than it is.

 

Unless you went to Lake Baccarac in Mexico, then all bass are that big no matter where you hold it.

I disagree, the man in the fore ground is almost directly under the bat. The wingspan looks close to 6 foot.

I disagree as well.  He looks like he's right underneath it. 

When I was a kid in the boy scouts we slept on the rocks at night under the stars. Who knows what lurks in the wilds.

Seeing this flying Fox as they call it adds new meaning when we say, "when pigs fly" we

must watch what we say it just may come true. I like buffalo wings but never seen a buffalo with wings. Now pigs wings sounds ok like bbq

hickory flavored pigs wings?

^ Now you're talking.

Your right. This pic made the rounds on the internet a couple of years ago as a classic perspective picture.

But I found it on the internet.  So it has to be true. 

So what if there were bats with a 10-foot wingspan,

they'd be eating insects with a 5-foot wingspan

Interesting story.......I lived in the pacific at one time.  Well, they build homes there like brick feceshouses because of the monster typhoons that roll through, so the cell coverage in our house was sometimes spotty.  So, my wife walks out our side door (that has a balcony above it) one night around 8.  She is there for a second talking and then screams and about kills herself trying to get back in the door.  I go to the window to see a 4 foot flying fox vacating the balcony overhang.  I am guessing it scared her more than she scared it.

that thing is hugggge
