GBMaker
Flying fox.
MERGATROYDER
Scary? That thing is beautiful.
piewacket
Can reach 2 foot tall with a 5 foot wingspan. Forced perspective in that photo. Bat is closer to the camera than the bike.
GRaffted
Does anyone still need a banana for scale?
llamallamadingd0ng
Just a flying puppy

AnUnfortunateFreezeFrame
It's not wearing hockey pads
reverendbonobo
Fruit bats aren't scary. Unless you're a banana, then they'd be fucking terrifying.
ZoidbergIsGreat
Indeed!

Fruit bats aren’t scary they’re cute! They’re sky doggos! Oh
ThousandsOfDeadlySeaSnakes
Yessss I want to hug iiiit
maelennfromterokkareu
How would you do it? Will you too hang upside down? Someone draw how to hug this bat, like this or like this?
ThousandsOfDeadlySeaSnakes
Nah, it will have to climb down to me. My upside down abilities are limited as fun as that sounds haha
snowy129
Flying Fox? Yeah they get big. Friendly sky rats though.
Taishosama

An Airwolf, if you will.

It's "real" but misleading and 2 years old https://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-what-you-need-to-know-about-that-human-sized-bat-going-viral
Millstone85
This is the same bat? The other photo really got weird.
Jgold101
That's how we get another covid
LelandGaunt101
The trick is not to invite them in. They can't if you don't
Lightsmith
What if your home doesn't have doors? What about open windows? Ir a mossing wall? Or no walls. What if its just a field?
TheVampireDante
Heh, as if we don't own most of the rental and property markets around...
Brumeh
Would you like some buusssghetti!?
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
I didn’t know you liked worms!
wrenchhead
Nick, your penis is now a snake!
BlackDeku
Yeah but I would ruin my reputation by being so rude

Elsuave
Isn't it 5 feet, not foot? Real question
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
No, @op phrased it correctly
Elsuave
Ok. English is not my first language and I am confused
morethan3words
When used as an adjective (like in @op's sentence) you keep it singular. Ex: I watched a 30-second video for 25 seconds. "30-second" is /
morethan3words
An adjective describing the video and "25 seconds" is a plural noun.
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
“This bat has a five foot wingspan and is two feet tall”
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
Don’t know if that helps at all. English is super weird.
Elsuave
Thanks!! Very clear
Taishosama
according to some articles its wing span is 5.5 feet and though its a big one its not human size. but i only read 2
JollyJokzr
Ok, a human size bat would really freak me out

Gotta’ admit, I am admiring its built-in cape. Big sky doge would be welcome to visit and hang at my house anytime
Youhavinagiraffe
Their bodies are only 30cm long
Chimichanga007
I mean did OP say 5 foot TALL? So OP:

Alec Guinness knows what's up
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
This is all perspective. Bat is closer to camera than motorcycle. That bat is maybe 2 ft tall.
miked854
Plus that motorcycle is a 135, it's small.
Akaszkronos
Still a fucking huge bat
stavesacre
That bat is the size of the 1 year old I’m holding
Jaqdakloun
One year old what ?
Crazyaussiecanadian
They only get to 3lb at most. I doubt your 1 year old is that small.
stavesacre
I meant the two foot body height
Excultist
It's talking about wingspan. They just don't mention that part. We get pretty big fruit bats here in Oz. They're super friendly.
BrokenAnimal
Can... can you pet them? Asking for a friend.
Excultist
I mean you can but should you is another issue. They are nocturnal and you might give them a fright
BrokenAnimal
Foiled by the old "LeAVe wILd AniMaLS aLone" argument, huh?
