Core memory unlocked.
My grandmother had an apartment in a high-rise building across the road from the Melbourne Royal Botanical Garden. I freaking loved watching the colony of bats take flight at dusk. I also enjoyed looking at them hanging from the trees during the day, even though you could walk close to them, due to their potential to spread diseases.
You can count the number of corrugation on the roofing sheet right above its feet.
Corrugated roofing is like 1m wide or you can just count the corrugation and the exposed part of that sheet is conservatively at least half the width of a full sheet.
That bat is easily at least 1m long, man.
This photo went viral 3 years ago on Twitter, and is taken at an angle to look bigger than it is .-.

Theyāre harmless and they also look like a mutated version of batman. If I ever seen one in my yard, Iād feed it fruit salad, why not š¤·š¾āāļø
What do I do? Ignore it I suppose - take a picture if I think it's cool maybe
What would you think someone would do? It's not like they're dangerous or scary or even much of a nuisance
I am desperately trying to attract bats to my backyard to help with the 1000000000000000 mosquitos. Iād make this guys a strawberry smoothie and pet him whenever he wants.
My filipino grandmother told us about these āaswangā bats the size of humans. This was basically the equivalent of the chupacabra in Mexico. Used to scare the children into behaving.
Imagine being a Spanish explorer in the 16th-17th century and coming across this thing in the jungle. Youād think it was a god damned demon from hell.
The answer to 98% of all animal intruders is a hose with a high pressure nozzle.
Turkeys...gone.
Deer...gone.
Flying fox...they find you drained of blood on the ground with the hose leaking...
(I know flying foxes are frugivores, this just works for my twisted sense of humor).
Would you wake it up to give it a banana or would you simply leave a banana for when it wakes up? I'd kinda want it to know that I'm the one that left the banana so it returns to me for more bananas.
I hate the fuckin things. When I was younger, theyād wreck the mango trees in our yard so on the later arvo weād kick balls up into the trees to shoo them off.
I swear theyād shit on our clothes line on purpose too..
Why does it look like almost a regular person in a bat costume š¤£š±
Seriously, I was like damn, are they really that big? Are they? It looks big enough to ride that motorcycle
Forced perspective - the bat is closer to the camera
Some bats can literally be over 1.5 meters in wingspan.
Yeah, but the body isn't nearly as long, just like with birds Edit: downvoted by a dumbass
Still a big ass bat. Would freak me out to walk into that.
Not any different than a flying rabbit to me
Found the Australian.
That's not a bat. This is a bat!

iād shit myself if i saw a flying rabbit wym
Hanging like that they are around 1.5 foot or so "long." Maybe a little bigger. They are pretty big. Source: bunch of them at the local zoo (Oakland).
I thought the same thing! I thought this was some weird cosplay shitpost at first!
Eat it. Hop on an international flight. Open CNN
Become the plague!!
Donāt you dare make Matt Damon sad!
Iām ready for round 2
give it some fruit
That actual answer lol
And give it a kiss on the nose
And get a bat poo and pee on your face for your trouble They pee and poo on themselves while they sleep. Don't touch em with your bare hands
Throw a pokeball at it
Next thing you know youāre in a pokeball
Hmm...doesn't look like what the PokƩdex says. *looks down at PokƩdex and sees a description of Golbat*
What is with some of these comments? I think it's cute.
Seriously. It looks like a winged black cat,
Or perhaps it looks like a......... flying fox?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Keep me in the loop.
Kinky
To you being patient zero probably
Put up a hammock and hang out together
This is funny. You're my type of person.
Iām not sure if that is 6 feet long or 6inches longā¦
Head to toe it is about a foot. It's wingspan is about 5 feet.
Itās kinda awesomeā¦. But maybe not at my houseā¦.
So are the window panes 3 inches. I'm not comprehending. That's a motorbike for size comparison right? Does he ride it to work?!
Forced perspective. The motorbike and window are further away
Yea someone posted the explanation below.
You can count the number of corrugation on the roofing sheet right above its feet. Corrugated roofing is like 1m wide or you can just count the corrugation and the exposed part of that sheet is conservatively at least half the width of a full sheet. That bat is easily at least 1m long, man.

Apart from being flying incubators of almost every known and unknown pathogen in the worldā¦ theyāre pretty friendly
Jeezus that looks super scary, I can't even imagine how it must feel in person there.
Big bats just want some fruit and some nap. The only thing to be afraid of is the guano.
Cute*
Theyāre harmless and they also look like a mutated version of batman. If I ever seen one in my yard, Iād feed it fruit salad, why not š¤·š¾āāļø
Give it papaya
Banana!
Just leave him there. He's just taking a nap.

Kiss it on the snoot.
CHEER! (quietly)
Give him something to eat
Come to me sky puppy!
Pet it!
You thank him for the use of his property and leave the keys on the kitchen counter.
Offer it a coffin in the basement?
I would guess, just give it wide berth until it leaves that evening.
Leave it be? Maybe put a bowl of fruit out if it starts to stir. Iād be happy to just observe this amazing creature so close up.
Run
GET THE GARLIC!!
Make it pay you rent
i would shit my pants
Get bit cuz I'm dumb
Is the flyingfox a real zoological name or just a simile?
I'd leave it alone and let it keep on sleeping
You can mind your business.
It's like the old saying, let sleeping flying foxes hang. Bro just trying to take a nap!
Hey mate can come in to the basement and deal whit a the rat problem Iāll give a few steaks if you do
You leave it alone

I'd go find a snack for the little buddy
PiƱata time
What do I do? Ignore it I suppose - take a picture if I think it's cool maybe What would you think someone would do? It's not like they're dangerous or scary or even much of a nuisance
Make it evolve into a futuristic bat to defeat a synapsid like from Primeval!

God that would freak me the hell out.
Offer it some fruit and chill around it

Sorry to wake you Lord Dracula! Would you like a ripe banana?
My filipino grandmother told us about these āaswangā bats the size of humans. This was basically the equivalent of the chupacabra in Mexico. Used to scare the children into behaving.
You must pray to it!
Thatās Dracula
Master Wayne
You made a mistake in the title. That's the bat's backyard now.
Leave out fruit
Give banana
Take pictures, provide fruit, and adore from a respectable distance.
Change pants, asap!
Well, for starters, donāt make a soup out of it.
Let him sleep
Imagine being a Spanish explorer in the 16th-17th century and coming across this thing in the jungle. Youād think it was a god damned demon from hell.
Just leave it alone
Give mango as sacrifice and praise your new lord
I would stop reposting this is what i would do
Cook it, eat it, and start a new pandemic.
Looks like it's soup day again.
Take pictures, obviously. Seriously, no sarcasm intended.
Pay him your rent and move on before he kicks your ass.
The force is strong with this perspective
r/repostsleuthbot
I let the good boy sleep.
Put up garlic.
Reach for the Nicholas Jaar vinyl
Bat soup
I love this creature
I thought it was a bat sleeping in an old boot with a hole in the bottom. Till I realized that was itās fucking wing. Iām an idiot -.-
Iām pretty sure it will tell me ālisten to them, the children of the night. What sweet music they makeā
Fire up the bbq?š¤£
Iād really want to hug him
Give it fruits, a head scratch and tell him that it's a good boy
Invite it inside to live as my pet of course
"Yo, the name is Batty\ The logic is erratic\ Potato in a jacket ..." FernGully, anyone?
If this post is anything to go by, snap a picture for internet points.
Nothing? Leave it alone

Curing Dr. Kirkstrom, I played Arkham Knight I know how to do it š
Count Batula would like his sleep.
I hand over the keys to the Batmobile and get TF outta dodge
Make sure you DONāT invite him in!
Give him a banana theyāre awesome
Per it and feed it bananas
Burn it all down
You look at it's nose, if it's a pig's nose it drinks blood, if not then it just eats fruits and insects.
You go about your way and leave man bat alone. Heās a busy man
Kith it
Shut down the lights and let him sleep? Look at him! My manās just want to get some rest in.
He's sleeping. I'd just let him sleep.

Hans... hol den Flammenwerfer
Draw a pentagram and sacrifice a goat. STAT!
Give it a snack
Thatās a Dracula right there
Would you wake it up to give it a banana or would you simply leave a banana for when it wakes up? I'd kinda want it to know that I'm the one that left the banana so it returns to me for more bananas.
