This is the golden crowned flying fox bat from the Philippines.
Holy crap that’s a huge bat. 5’6”, and creepy as hell.
I agree. I’m not afraid of bats but the size alone creates a pretty high pucker factor.Scared cause it’s big? I think they are almost exclusively herbivores. But if I walked out of my house and saw that hanging off my gutter, I’d definitely jump back.
But I do like bats
