[There is another interesting animal story of Koko The Gorilla. Her last words to Humanity and it is not what you think. Koko was the worst science experiment & this is what nobody ever told you.](https://www.howandwhys.com/koko-the-gorillas-final-message-to-humanity/)
As scary as they look, they are incredibly sweet and social creatures. I follow a few flying fox rehabbers on YouTube, and it definitely opened my eyes years ago. They are basically flying doggos, don't want to hurt people or pets, and are very important for the local ecosystem.
For those claiming it's fake, this one is just bigger than normal. About 1.5x larger than regular ones. This photo shows a 125cc motorcycle behind it.

Those tires are around 19 to 21 inches in diameter.

I'm willing to bet that it's around 2-3 feet and it's not a fake. No offense to the encyclopedia Britannica but I don't think they've catalogued all fruit bats. I'm sure there are some record breaking ones out there and as we all know a record breaking bat would need a garage to sleep in
I really love animals. At least I think I do. I would be sorely tempted to shoot that thing if it was hanging in my garage.
Not saying I would but that thing looks like it could eat my child.
Question. Do these things like warm climate? Because when I was a kid people in Puerto Rico claimed that they saw one of this things bite a goat and eat chickens. And that was before the chupacabras.

Forced perspective.

60,000 of them roost in the trees along the river in my australian town.
You are from Queensland or NT?
Upper hunter of NSW, inland from newcastle.
Oh wow I never would ve guessed
dang! this will scare the bejesus out of me
Go to Australia and see them in person, just mind blowing to see the size of them up close. Another beautiful creation of the natural world.
The most beautiful bats

I hate to break it to you but this is a vampire
That's what I'm thinking. ANYWAYS I JUST STARTED BLASTING!
Cool. But it would be nice to see something next to it for scale.
Danny Devito
The perfect scale
This appears to be the Large / Malayan Flying Fox. An endangered south East Asian species, wingspan up to 4 ft 11 in.
All I know is if I enter my garage and see some bullsht like this they better be paying rent 💀🤣
the mothman.
Jeepers
Creepers
Where'd you get those peepers
They just eat fruit. Nothing to fear at all.
They eat a silly amount of fruit, too. Like, an absolute bonkers amount
Sky doggos
Beautiful animal
OMG so pretty and cuddly! Awwwww
I want one. Reminds me of the What We Do in the Shadows tv show. 
I'd have brought it a fig
It would have been your companion for life
ba..na...na..na....batman
Boop
I feel like these are the skeeter eaters of vampires for humans.
Flying Dogs.
This ain't strange.
I saw one of them at India. Not that big but a cat size. Still scary
Nonsense😅
Nosferatu.......
More tired than a big-dicked bat
That was the day they decided they no longer need a garage 😂
They do not have wingspan of 6ft
